We have had multiple people tell us NOT to enroll our daughter at Northwood however that turned out not to be an option. We enrolled her this week after several weeks of trying to circumvent the system a bit and I have to say that the atmosphere and people at Northwood are very comforting and welcoming. The school was closed for 25 YEARS and this year was only the 5th graduating class since re-opening. It is a small high school of only 1400+ students which is a good thing and we are thinking positively and looking forward to a good year. The counselor that enrolled us took a lot of time to talk about our student personally and try to fit her schedule to her in ways that would make her feel comfortable coming in as a new student which was a very unexpected and personal touch. Not at all bureaucratic. Only time will tell but our initial impression is positive!

Doesn't have as much problem with beads piled up (like Wash Lee) or holes in the field (RFK aux field). Ample parking, trash cans...no bathrooms though from what I could find.

Wasn't too long after graduation that I realized that St. John's more than prepared me for the next level. The curriculum is challenging. You aren't allowed to float by and you are getting the tools needed to thrive beyond college. Critical thinking and reasoning were skills imparted to you. Athletics could have been stronger, but it's picking up a lot of steam. It helps that the CEO of Under Armour, Kevin Plank, is a SJC alum.

Agree with a lot of the previous review. However, it has been my experience that this is not the…read morewarmest, friendliest church. Even in the small groups they promote that feeling is not there either. I'm not sure if people are cynical, closed off from past hurts, overworked, or what, but it shows. It makes you want to keep a healthy distance. I think there is a lot of good here and many people here have hearts for God and for people. AND I can't help but notice that a chunk of them could use some serious attitude adjustments. It reflects poorly not only on them but on the church as well. I know it's hard to serve AND 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 shares that we should give cheerfully not reluctantly or under compulsion. This is not just money but time as well. Not following this scripture typically produces bitterness and bad attitudes. The Bible also states in Luke 6:45 that "out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks". I think it might be time for some heart checks. If you don't want to serve, don't or make it a point to get to a place where you can do it cheerfully. Ask the Holy Spirit to work in you, tap into it. It is not God's will for you to serve and exude negativity. I don't want to negate all the good the church does because it does do a lot of good and I did want to bring this to the forefront because it is an issue that should be spoken on. God Bless!

I wish this church focused more on the Bible. The music is…read moregreat and people are nice, but I don't really agree with the messages I have heard or read from their main pastor. The messages often are more focused on life and less on what the Bible teaches us. This church does what they can to take the Bible and society and bend the Bible a little to make society feel more comfortable. I believe you have to be careful when compromising the Bible's message and using verses out of context. We are warned about this in the Bible. if the beach is the Bible, the tide is society, and the church is the person in the water then this church has been swept away from the Bible as their context towards righteousness and has lost their way a little. Churches need to make the Bible their guide not what feels right. This church wants everyone to just be happy, and they do a disservice by compromising the message of the Bible to try to make it what people want to hear. They use a lot of emotion, but you should never have to compromise the Bible to meet societies desires. I think they are great people, but they have let politics come into their message too much, and I wonder if their focus is more towards politics than equipping members to have a deeper relationship with Christ through his message. I wish them the best, and I hope the new pastor the best. There are some other great alternatives around that are more upbeat and modern, but they maintain their commitment to the Bible a little better.
