Summary

North Ridge Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 700 students in the Moreno Valley Unified district, consistently performing above its local peers and often above state averages despite the broader district's challenges.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, with nearly half of students proficient in English and math, significantly higher than the district average and outperforming nearby schools like Bear Valley Elementary and Sugar Hill Elementary. A key strength is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.7%, which is less than half the district average and far better than schools such as Sunnymead Elementary (33.8%) and Ramona Elementary (31.7%), likely contributing to its success.

North Ridge achieves these outcomes cost-effectively, spending less per student than several neighboring schools while getting better results. The school has maintained stable performance even as the number of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch has increased, showing its ability to support students effectively. Its fifth graders are particularly strong in English Language Arts, outperforming the state average.
