Summary

Northridge High School is a grades 9–12 public high school in Middlebury, Indiana, serving 1,331 students in Middlebury Community Schools. In the 2025–26 rankings it placed 56th out of 415 Indiana high schools — the 87th percentile with 4 stars — its strongest recent finish, after moving from the 69th percentile in 2023–24 to 83rd and then 87th. Its most recent graduation rate was 98.8% in 2024–25, well above Indiana's 89.7%.

Academically, the school's standout result is SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing at 63.3%, which is 11.4 percentage points above the state and second among nearby schools only to Westview Junior-Senior High School. SAT Math came in at 34.34%, 8.74 points above the state and again second to Westview, while Biology ILEARN EOC was 54.45% — behind Westview and Wawasee High School but ahead of Fairfield Junior-Senior High School, Jimtown High School, Lakeland Junior/Senior High School, Goshen High School, Concord Community High School, and Elkhart High School. Westview remains the main nearby peer that outperforms Northridge, with a higher rank, a 100% graduation rate, lower chronic absenteeism, and stronger math and biology results.

Northridge achieves this with the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (27.27%) and the lowest per-pupil spending ($9,901 in 2023–24) among nearby comprehensive high schools, along with a comparatively high student/teacher ratio of 18.2. One clear area to watch is chronic absenteeism: 18.8% in 2024–25, above the state rate of 16.7% and the district rate of 14.2%, and well above Westview's 9.0% or Fairfield's 12.3%. Student-group results are mostly strong — English Language Learner students rose from the 24th percentile to the 79th, and low-income students sit at the 85th — though special education students dropped to the 51st percentile after a stronger year.

This school has been on a steady downward spiral for the last 10 years. It's all due to poor leadership at the top! Test scores? Ha! The only numbers they care about are how much $$$ they are getting per student from the state. And where can they spend it? I can assure you it's not on the kids education or that of quality teachers. There is a lot of teacher turnover and they now find themselves competing with less desirable districts such as Elkhart and Goshen. Once the best in Elkhart County is now nothing more than the rest. Do yourself a favor if you are working in Elkhart County or considering a move to EC for a job...you are best to commute from neighboring St. Joe County for work and let your children go to school in St.Joe County.
