Northwest CTA is an excellent school filled with many great opportunities for students! This school offers various programs for students to choose that help them focus on what careers they may be interested in the future. Northwest focuses on getting their students ready for their futures and equips them with the skills they need to get started. Students choose a program area of study at the beginning of the year and that is their primary focus. The administration can be very strict on rules even to the point where some of their actions seem unreasonable but for the most part, if you are doing what you are supposed to it should be fine. Student tend to be held to a higher standard here as opposed to a regular public school. The clubs at this school can make your year all the worthwhile. Overall, Northwest will present you with really amazing opportunities if you do choose this school.
Northwest Career and technical Academy is a different experience for every student, majorly depending on their ethnic background. The reasoning for that statement is due to the vast majority of NWCTA students being either Asian (Filipino, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc) or Caucasian. The problem with this is that for the students who are not of either of those races it is extremely hard to "fit in" or even feel comfortable. Topics like slavery become extremely insensitive especially while being taught by a Caucasian teacher in a 90% Asian/or white classroom. Additionally, it can be very hard to find friends that can relate or accept you as they should. Being one of the only black student in the majority of my classes, i find it very hard to relate to anybody, or for anybody to relate to me. I've personally encountered many racist students and faculty members, that left me thinking very poorly of myself and my background. Thus leaving me with the current feelings towards the school.
Northwest Career and Technical Academy High School is all that I could ever ask for and so much more. It has taught me many valuable life skills that I consistently use on a daily basis, such as proper email formats, formal essays, and even a second language. The teachers and students are a highlight of the school, as they are filled with enough seriousness to be deserving of the spot, while also maintaining a casual and joking setting for the school. Many CTA schools are run as an "all work and no play" type setting, but the same certainly cannot be stated for Northwest. Furthermore, the teachers always do their best to teach and help students, creating lessons and tests tailored to the students rather than the curriculum. Overall, Northwest is a wonderful school.
