[quote=Anonymous]Northwood senior parent here with many close friends whose kids are at Northwood. Our experience has been very positive. Unlike many DCUM posters, I see the diversity of the Northwood student body as a huge positive for all. Beyond academics, the opportunity to learn from others with different backgrounds, to consider different socioeconomic backgrounds when planning events and how to make them accessible to all is teaching the parents and students a lot about empathy and equity.

If your kids are athletic, they have the benefits of playing varsity at younger ages.

Plenty of AP classes, interesting electives. Teachers have been solid to excellent - no bad apples during our tenure, nor have I heard bad experiences from other families.

Counseling team is on top of college applications.

Any issues I have are with how MCPS (not Northwood) handled the move and construction communication.

Bottom line - your child can make the Northwood experience what they want - if they are high achievers, they can be challenged. If they are average, but college bound, they'll be fine. If they need extra support (ADHD or similar) they'll get everything they need. [/quote]
