NORTHWOODS FINE ARTS ACADEMY is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the SAND SPRINGS school district, located in Sand Springs, OK with about 498 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
