(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is infested with drugs. About 80 percent of the children are using some type of drug. The school does not have any intervention programs in place. I do not recommend this school to anyone.

(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I graduated from northwest in 2000. I have a very hard time believing that the school went down hill that far in just ten years. there weren't kids getting jumped in the hallway as the other review would have you believe. It was a good school and I enjoyed my time there.

- This school is awful. There are drugs, fighting and there is no chance of staff having the time they need to address important issues to give the students the attention they need. They ignore any complaints about the drugs and kids jumping other kids. They act like you are offending them when you speak up. It is NOT a good environment and not safe. I do not recommend this school to ANYONE.
