  Northwood is an excellent school, despite some people's ideas of it. The teachers and students are very welcoming; I remember my first day of school as a new student I felt accepted. The classes are challenging, but you are able to stay on top of your schoolwork if you pay attention and turn in your work on time. One thing to note is the difference between AP and honors classes vs. standard classes, as the difference is somewhat significant. If you want to challenge yourself, taking harder classes will be a good opportunity for you, and if you take standard classes you may not be challenged. I know that another thing to be aware of is the misconception that AP (and honors) classes are not diverse... However, with experience, I can oppose that and say that they are diverse. You should want to consider joining whichever classes you think you will be most comfortable in regardless of what anyone says about Northwood's equity... This website displays a misconception that has been given to this school about its diversity. (That there are mostly Latino students who take standard classes while most of the students who participate in AP classes are white... not true). They also offer multiple programs like sports and activities, and the teachers and staff there are especially involved with helping the students with their interests.

  Northwood has been an amazing school for my son. His experience in the GTLD program has made him love school and helped him be an extremely successful student. The staff has been wonderful and great at communication. I haven't encountered anything that matches the negative picture these statistic paint. I think if someone is considering the school they should go and visit, learn about what it is available, and meet the amazing staff. Judging by these numbers alone is a skewed picture and does a disservice to the school and staff and the wonderful job they are doing.

  I think the low test scores at this school are a reflection of the high percentage of students who are English langauge learners. The ESOL program and department, which is very large, is amazing and consists of a team of very hardworking, dedicated professional teachers who give their all every day to help almost 500 English language learners to succeed in school. The other students in the school are also given a variety of activities and programs to help them get a great start in life. Nothwood High School is a great school!

  Northwood is a very nice school. It offers many programs including medical, technology, and law. They say there is many gangs ,but to be honest thats not true. just because this school is located near Langley Park doesnt mean it had a lot of gangs its not a bad school! I am currently a junior I graduate 2014. I recomend this school! I remeber when I was chosing this school they said there was alot of bullying , but theres not, I mean in every school there is but here it depends who you mess with. I remeber my parents were scared to let me come here but in the end they were satisfied and relieved knowing that its not a bad school. I recomend it for any incoming 9th graders. I give this school a 5 star rating.

  Northwood is a fantastic school! My friend was going here and so I decided to go. The teachers are really foccussed on me as a person and what I can do to bring my grades up. I love the way my gym class is because the coach is hard on us to stay in shape. I love Northwood!

  I'm so happy Northwood reopened. I graduated in 1978. My daughter is now a freshman and loves the school. I have great communication with teachers and they respond quickly. Great after school programs and the AVID is an awesome program to get students ready for college.
