Summary:

ZIP code 46540 covers Middlebury, Indiana, and contains just one high school: Northridge High School, which serves grades 9–12 with 1,331 students as part of Middlebury Community Schools. Because it is the only high school in the area, the most useful comparisons come from looking at how the school has performed over the past three years and against district and state averages.

Northridge's academic trajectory is strong. Its state rank climbed from 133rd of 432 schools in 2023–2024 to 71st of 429 in 2024–2025 and 56th of 415 in 2025–2026, moving from the 69th percentile to the 87th percentile and from a 3-star to a 4-star rating. Its graduation rate is 98.8%, well above the state's 89.7%. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing reached 63.3% in 2025–2026, up from 60.24%, and 11.4 points above the state's 51.9%. SAT Mathematics rose to 34.34% from 29.05%, above the state's 25.6%. Biology scored 56.03% in 2024–2025, about 10.4 points above the state, then dipped slightly to 54.45% in 2025–2026.

Two areas are worth watching. Chronic absenteeism is 18.8%, higher than the district's 14.2% and the state's 16.7%. Mathematics, though improving and above the state, still trails reading and writing by about 29 points. For context, 27.27% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $9,901 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 18.2 in 2024–2025; no state or district comparisons for those figures were provided.
