Summary

Northridge Elementary School is a PK–5 public school at 2011 Timber Ln in Dayton, OH, serving 796 students in the Northridge Local district — one of the larger elementaries in its area. Its district ranks 712th of 773 Ohio districts (8th percentile, 0 stars), and the school ranks 1,267th of 1,560 statewide for 2025–2026, placing it in the bottom fifth of Ohio schools with 1 star. That is up from 1,410th in 2023–2024 and 1,425th in 2022–2023 — a modest recent recovery, though still below its 2011–2012 mark of 34th percentile.

On 2025–2026 state tests, Northridge's best result was 3rd grade math at 56.4% proficiency, only 5.7 points below the state's 62.1%. Its largest gaps were 5th grade science (18.0% vs. the state's 62.7%), 5th grade math (22.5% vs. 59.1%), and 4th grade math (40.7% vs. 67.3%); 5th grade ELA (50.6%) was closer to the state. Northridge outperforms several lower-ranked neighbors — Valerie Elementary School, Richard Allen Preparatory, Charity Adams Earley Girls Academy, and Horizon Science Academy-Dayton — with 3rd grade math far above their 14.5%, 6.9%, 21.7%, and 22.0%. But it trails stronger nearby schools such as Smith Intermediate School, Brantwood Elementary School, and Pathway School of Discovery, where 5th grade science reaches 73.2% versus Northridge's 18.0%.

Chronic absenteeism improved from 43.3% in 2023–2024 to 34.4% in 2025–2026, below the district's 36.7% but well above Smith Intermediate (14.9%), Valley Forge Elementary School (18.9%), Pathway (21.1%), Brantwood (21.4%), and Wright Brothers Elementary School (21.7%). Northridge's 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.9, among the higher in the group, and its 2018–2019 per-student spending was $11,180 — relatively high locally but dated. Gains since 2022–2023 include 3rd grade math (29.4% to 56.4%), 4th grade math (20.2% to 40.7%), and 5th grade ELA (25.5% to 50.6%), while 5th grade science swung from 23.3% to 36.9% and back down to 18.0%. Its strongest subgroup effectiveness ranking is for special education students (32nd percentile, 2 stars), up sharply from 4th percentile in 2023–2024.
