NORTHWESTERN EVENING/SATURDAY HIGH SCHOOL

Northwestern Evening/Saturday High is a public high school that is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools school district, located in Hyattsville, MD with about 128 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, Northwestern Evening/Saturday High has a student/teacher ratio of about 64:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Northwestern Evening/Saturday High is an alternative educational program operated by Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS), designed to provide flexible learning opportunities for students who require a non-traditional schedule. Located at the Northwestern High School campus in Hyattsville, Maryland, the program is primarily geared toward students who need to recover course credits, improve their grades, or fulfill graduation requirements outside of the standard Monday-through-Friday school day. By offering classes during evening hours and on Saturdays, the program accommodates students who may have work obligations, family responsibilities, or other personal circumstances that make attending a conventional high school difficult.

The curriculum is aligned with the broader PGCPS academic standards, ensuring that students receive the same quality of instruction as those in the traditional day program. The school serves as a vital resource for the community, aiming to reduce dropout rates and support student success by removing barriers to high school completion. Prospective students or parents interested in the specific course offerings, registration procedures, or academic calendar are encouraged to visit their official website or contact the school administration directly at their Adelphi Road location to discuss eligibility and enrollment options.
