Northwest Middle School

Summary:

Northwest Middle School is a public middle school located in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 761 students. The school is part of the Knox County School District, which is ranked 72 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, with higher percentages of Hispanic (36.27%) and African American (24.97%) students compared to nearby schools, Northwest Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on TNReady assessments are significantly lower than the Knox County and Tennessee averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 12.7% proficiency in mathematics and 12.6% in English language arts in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests a concerning trend of declining academic performance, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 322 out of 362 schools in 2016-2017 to 512 out of 580 schools in 2023-2024.

When compared to other middle schools in the area, such as Bearden Middle School and Powell Middle School, Northwest Middle School stands out as the lowest-performing, with significant achievement gaps among its diverse student population. This indicates a need to address equity and support for underperforming student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, in order to improve the school's educational outcomes and provide equitable opportunities for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Their Principal is in his second year there, and is making huge strides! He is helping bring so much back into the school, so that the kids can be involved in things like going to Competitions, Inviting and working with Planet Fitness to remodel an area in their gym for teens to come work out after school. I'm so thankful that I kept my son in our district and chose to see what would happen when he went to 6th grade based on his experience, and he loves the place. Only thing he would change is all of the rap music that gets played so much. He says there are a few rowdy kids, but I think they are in every school. It helps with the teamwork and effort Mr Baldwin and the grade level principals as well as the rest of the teachers and staff put in to make sure they are in a welcoming, encouraging and challenging environment.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
