Summary

Northridge Elementary School in Longmont, CO, serves 318 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the St. Vrain Valley School District. While the district overall ranks in the 80th percentile of Colorado districts, Northridge is a striking outlier, ranking in the 6th percentile statewide with a 0-star rating — among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state.

Academic proficiency at Northridge is far below district and state averages. On the 2025-26 CMAS assessments, only 12.5% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (versus 51% districtwide) and 18.3% in math (versus 46.9% districtwide). The comparison to nearby schools is revealing. Mountain View Elementary, just 0.8 miles away, has nearly identical poverty demographics (76.6% free/reduced lunch vs. Northridge's 77.4%) yet achieves 37% ELA and 41.3% math proficiency — more than double Northridge's rates. Sanborn Elementary, less than a mile away, achieves 53.7% ELA proficiency, a 40-point gap.

Northridge also faces significant attendance and academic trend challenges. Chronic absenteeism is 30.2%, the highest among nearby elementary schools, and has risen from 26.2% the prior year. ELA proficiency has declined sharply from 22.9% in 2022-23 to 12.5% in 2025-26, and 5th grade is a particular weak point, with only 10% of students proficient in math. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, academic outcomes remain persistently low, suggesting that class size alone is not driving performance.
