Northwest Middle is a public middle school serving grades 07–08 in SALT LAKE CITY. It is one of 36 current school records connected to Salt Lake District. NCES reports 542 students for 2024–25.
Among 144 middle schools in Utah with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 860 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 19th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 15.2:1, below the Utah median of 22.3:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Hispanic or Latino (72.5%) and White (8.3%). English learners represent 35.5% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 15.3%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
