AMY NW

Amy NW is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Philadelphia City SD school district, located in Philadelphia, PA with about 305 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 16 teachers, Amy NW has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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.

The school located at 6000 Ridge Ave in Philadelphia, PA 19128, is **AMY Northwest Middle School** (often referred to as Amy NW).
