Personally, I did enjoy my high school experience at Northwest, but their is still a lot that could be done to improve the school. There are a lot of teachers that are excellent and invested in their work, but their are also some teachers that are very poor at either controlling their classroom or getting work done. The facilities such as the bathrooms, drinking fountains, and mobile classrooms are horrible. Although I see janitors working all the time who are invested in their work, the school still has trouble keeping clean at times (mostly in the bathrooms). Also the school is way too overcrowded, so much so that there wasn't enough desks for students at the beginning of the year. Most of the faculty is great! However, Northwest doesn't have the best pride (we stopped having pep rallies because very little people would participate). Despite its flaws, it is a decent school to attend for students that want a great education.
Northwest is a great choice for any academic-seeking individuals. Offering over 25 AP courses and 50 honors selections, Northwest is made for the academic. However, it doesn't just stop there! Northwest also has national-ranked sports teams/programs! The only downside to the school is the out-of-date facilities. Additionally, the workload is heavy, and there is a constant playing of the "numbers game" among the top students to secure a high (or top) class ranking. But overall, Northwest is an amazing high school!
I like the diversity of students and the large size. Each Class 9 - 12th has over 500 students. Feels like a small College Campus. You can literally meet new people every day. You have so many choices on Clubs, activities and sports. There is a place for you to "fit in" and feel like apart of something which is important for us. You have an open opportunity to find yourself and express yourself without judgement. Having such a large school also allows us to self manage our academics along with our social needs ultimately preparing us for for a higher level of education such as college. The Teachers are the best. Many offer tutoring before and after school and class sizes are optimal. My Councilor is the best. Ms Gross. She has helped me so many times with school stress and personal issues. I will miss her most. Overall my high school years have been great. I feel Northwest Guilford High School has "it all" to prepare us for "what ever" life we choose after.
