Northwest High School (also known as Waukee Northwest High School) is a three-year public high school in Waukee, Iowa, United States. The school hosts grades 10–12. It is run by the Waukee Community School District and it opened its doors in 2021. Freshmen attend Prairieview or Trailridge before moving on to Northwest High School.
Enrollment
editAs of the 2021-2022 school year, there were 1,325 students enrolled at Northwest High School.[3] This number has grown exponentially over the years, as Waukee is one of the fastest growing school districts in Iowa and Northwest is a relatively new school.
Academics
editNorthwest High School uses a block-scheduling system which has students spending their day in just four classes per day for 90 minutes each. In the average high school class system (eight classes per day), students spend a whole year enrolled in their core classes with semester-long electives. Northwest's block-scheduling keeps students in their core classes for a semester with quarter-long electives. Research has shown that this system creates better attendance rates and more Honor Roll students than traditional class scheduling.[4]
Athletics
editSince the 2021-2022 school year, Northwest High School has been competing in the CIML (Central Iowa Metro League). In 2021, Northwest opened as one of the biggest schools in the state, competing at 4A and 5A levels (1A to 5A in order of increasing school size).

Expansion/Growth
editBy itself, the town of Waukee is not very large. Waukee's school district, however, is immense in comparison, encompassing the suburbs as far east as West Des Moines and as far west as the edge of Adel. Because the district extends into West Des Moines, the district has been able to take advantage of enormous residential growth surrounding the Jordan Creek Town Center. This growth has led the district to open a new school each year for six years straight, including Northwest High School.
