My son has had a good experience at the school, but academically it was about 1 year behind the private school he used to attend.

This school has a very bad lack of leadership and these polls don't show how bad these lacks are. Principals sit in there offices way to much and they don't do much about anything but put a very over reduces phone policy but change the policy for teachers, Staff. That :Lies come out of this past admin well anti changing if just two Principals Resigning. The school district cut the Buses Department in half that is the worse any school can ever do to be very bad running school system. School needs a lot repair that is un acceptable for a school system to put other things first before that. Look at cuts this school system board has put in over the past years. What is this special interest Washington

This school has 0% diversity, my child has came home numerous of times complaining about racist comments, and things that have happened. There is not leadership shown at Northwood, the principles aren't involved and my child has been begging me to leave. DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD TO NORTHWOOD! I REPEAT, DO NOT!

Parents, and everyone else whom posted on here clearly just dismisses the fact that most people get sexually assaulted, or harrassed by other students in other grade levels, or get teachers that nearly couldn't give a squat for your well-being. I, am a small person, so I typically hitch a ride on someone's bookbag because THESE HALLS ARE TOO DAMN NARROW AND THERE'S WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE. Students AND TEACHERS have gotten thrown down the stairs, or trampled on. Others think that it's social time so they flock like damn sheep and refuse to get out of the way. Believe it or not, we STILL have problems with substance abuse at this school. There's cameras and microphones almost everywhere. Officer Stubbs, bless his heart, he is truly a miracle at this school. Dr.Bartholomew followed my graduating 8th grade class at Pollard to Northwood. So far so good. The man means well. What needs to be improved, is the mindset of parents everywhere, and the AC units that either DO NOT WORK, or have DEAD MOLDY ANIMALS/FOOD in them. I see a lot about the Arts wing and Clubs on here. Yeah, that stuff is great if you're rich and have Moms who stay at home. Good for you. Marching Band is EXPENSIVE. Vocals, you have to stay after for. Dance, you need leotards and have to stay after. Art, well you get a free ride. A lot of the clubs you have to provide with stuff yourself. Speaking on the parent who gave 1 STAR, there HAS been SEVERAL accidents on High School grounds. Yes, there has. Now with Doctor Offices, Bojangles, and other Fast Foods, IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE.

This school is fair at best. Most teachers are too young and inexperienced. As far as safety goes...there will be a fatal accident due to poor entrance/exit procedures and the lack of buses. Too many parents pickup their children to avoid the 75 minute bus ride home. Also the door to the separate math pod in the back is frequently unlocked.
