The mission of the Northwest Local School District is to develop well adjusted, contributing citizens who can effectively communicate, gather and use information, make responsible decisions, and adapt to the challenges of the future. This will be done by providing a diverse, well trained staff that is dedicated to delivering a sequential, comprehensive curriculum which is based upon fiscal responsibility, community involvement, sound management practices, and a commitment to measurable academic progress. Learning is enhanced by focusing on diversity and simplicity. A variety of learning opportunities is required to meet the needs of students with different learning styles. Efficient and effective use of time increases learning.
Effectiveness is measured by social, emotional, and academic progress.
Parents, as major contributors, and other family members play a critical role in providing a significant learning environment for children. Cooperation and collaboration between family, children, schools and community provides a learning environment that fosters growth. Students must be prepared to be productive citizens of the world. Northwest Local School District is situated in the northwest corner of Stark county with part of the district in Summit and Wayne counties. The school district serves over 2400 students in five buildings.
