Summary

Northridge High School is a public high school in Dayton, Ohio, serving 493 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Northridge Local District, which is ranked 723 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Northridge High School has relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 92.2% to 98.6% in recent years, the school faces significant challenges. It has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 44.0% to 60.2%, much higher than the state average and most nearby schools. Northridge High School's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are consistently well below state averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates typically 20-30 percentage points lower. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Gifted and Talented students, and students with disabilities.

Compared to nearby public high schools like Stebbins High School and Meadowdale High School, as well as local charter schools such as Dayton Business Technology High School and Dayton Career Technical High School, Northridge High School's performance is generally worse. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates and equity concerns suggest it needs to implement substantial improvements to better serve its students.
