Northwood Rated Excellent Again!
The South Carolina School Report Cards have been released, and we are proud to announce that Northwood Middle School has once again been rated as "Excellent." We are one of just four Greenville County Middle Schools to receive this highest rating.
Even more impressive, for the second year in a row, Northwood has earned the highest overall point total of any Greenville County Middle School, with 59 points. This remarkable achievement is a true testament to the hard work and commitment of our students, teachers, and parents to being the very best we can be -- every single day.
At Northwood, the safety, growth, and academic achievement of our students will always remain at the forefront of Northwood #knightlife! This shared dedication is what makes our school community so special, and we couldn’t be prouder to celebrate this success with you.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a vital part of our Northwood family.
