Blue Valley Northwest was an excellent school that gave me many opportunities to grow in my educational career. I, along with my brother and sister, attended BVNW and we all have promising careers going forward. I am now in a doctorate program to become a nurse practitioner, my sister just graduated pharmacy school at KU, and my brother will start school to become a mechanical engineer in the fall. BVNW culture of acceptance and diversity allowed us (who are middle-eastern) to thrive and achieve our max potential. Very thankful for our years at Blue Valley Northwest!
Northwest has a place for everyone! The student body and staff are welcoming and want what is best for individual students. In order to find a place in this high school, one must surround themselves with positive influences who reach for success. It is difficult to find these individuals without taking rigorous classes.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Northwest. I definitely feel like it is less diverse and has had racial issues in the past, but there is an effort being made and student organizations working towards fixing this. Besides this, I have had very few teachers that I have disliked and I feel that they are excellent resources for me as I learn and prepare for college. My counselor is great, and they provide all of the necessary information for college, such as dual credit, AP tests, and application information. They have a kind staff and great lunch ladies, and the lunchroom is clean and has great variety. My favorite part of high school has been all of the art classes I've taken; they have a lot to offer. Overall, it has been a great high school experience.
