Summary:
Northridge Local is a three-school Ohio district serving PK–12 students — one elementary (PK–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — with 1,167 students in total and an overall district rank of 333 of 773 (57th percentile, 3 stars).
Northridge Elementary enrolls 546 students and is the district's clearest academic standout: every reported state test is above the Ohio average, with ELA grades 3–5 beating state by 7–14 points, and 4th grade ELA jumping from below state to well above state in one year. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 10.3% and a steadily improving rank (54th → 59th → 60th percentile). Northridge High School (351 students, 60th percentile) posts a 98.1% graduation rate and strong End-of-Course results in American History (86.2%), Biology (78.9%), and English II (75.0%), but Geometry is 37.6% — below state — and its chronic absenteeism of 20.6% is the district's highest, exactly double the elementary rate. Northridge Middle School (270 students) is a school of extremes: Algebra I proficiency is 100% (likely a small, selective group, so interpret cautiously), and 8th grade math, science, and ELA are above state, yet 6th and 7th grade math and 7th grade ELA fall below state and its rank has declined from 65th to 54th percentile. Its reported 92.96% free/reduced lunch and 11.3 student/teacher ratio stand out within the district and are worth verifying. Across all three schools, absenteeism rises with grade level, and per-student spending figures date to 2018–19.
