Additionally, Northridge Academy faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 96.33% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is also significantly higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance.
