Summary

Northridge Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Longmont, Colorado, with 307 students. It is part of the St. Vrain Valley School District, which is ranked 27th out of 115 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Northridge Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools over the past 10 years, receiving 1 or 0 stars from SchoolDigger.

Northridge Elementary stands out for its significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.1% of Northridge students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.9% for the district and 44.8% for the state. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.8% to 27.7% over the past 3 school years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Northridge has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.78% to 77.64% over the past 3 years, which is much higher than nearby schools in the district.

When comparing Northridge Elementary to other nearby schools in the St. Vrain Valley School District, such as Fall River Elementary and Central Elementary, Northridge stands out as an underperforming school with significantly lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and higher rates of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. This persistent underperformance suggests that Northridge Elementary may be facing systemic challenges that require targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population and improve student outcomes.
