Summary:
Northridge Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-8 in the area, with 245 students. Based on the available data, this school appears to be struggling academically, with consistently low performance on state assessments and a high chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state averages.
Northridge Academy is ranked 1086 out of 1488 Michigan elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, going from 934 out of 1486 schools in 2023-2024 (2 stars) to 1209 out of 1470 schools in 2022-2023 (1 star). Student proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below the Michigan state averages across grade levels and subject areas, with only 32% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA compared to the 38.9% state average.
Despite the high per-student spending of $14,369 and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 18.2, Northridge Academy is not seeing strong academic outcomes for its students. This may be due in part to the school's high-need student population, with 96.33% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school appears to be making efforts to improve, significant challenges remain in raising student achievement and overall school performance.
