Over all Northwest school is a school that will help your child grow spiritually, academically, and emotionally. With my child being a k-5 student whom has attended since last year the core curriculum is very advanced. i do feel at times the work can be a bit overwhelming for a 5-year with advanced work but if you are looking for a challenge this would be the right school for. at first the communication with his Teacher was not as good as it was with his k-4 teacher ( whom i absolutely loved ) but after parent teacher conference that has improved. They also offer extra programs for students whom are struggling. If you are willing to but in the work with your child to go above and beyond then this would be the right choice . I Do recommend North West Lutheran Close Quote

Northwest Lutheran School is a great place for children to grow and learn. My two have been attending there since last year and I have seen an educational and personal growth in them. They both like attending the school and have a passion for learning now. The staff at Northwest Lutheran School goes above and beyond to ensure that EVERY child there gets the help that they need to succeed. I highly recommend this school to all parents. Close Quote

My son attends Northwest Lutheran, this is his first year and to say that I love it would be a understatement. I like the fact that it's a christian based school that does instill moral into the children's learning. My child is happy with his experience here. Close Quote

I am a proud parent of a honor role 5th grader at Northwest Lutheran School. I love the academic program that has been put in place at Northwest, the progressive atmosphere of the teachers, and the faith based interaction my child receives as a student and I highly recommend this school if you are looking for a school who has the best interest of your child at heart!!!

I love the fact that the principal takes the time to meet every child, and knows each student by name. They are a no nonsense kind of school but still let the children have fun and have plenty of activities for them. I highly recommend Northwest Lutheran. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
