Summary

Northridge High School is a mid-sized public high school in Dayton, OH, serving grades 9–12 in the Northridge Local district and enrolling 493 students. Statewide, it ranks 728 of 795 schools in 2025–2026—about the 8th percentile—with 0 stars, while its district ranks 712 of 773 Ohio districts. The school has spent most of the past decade in the bottom quartile, and its 2025–2026 result is near its historical low.

The school’s clearest strength is getting students to finish. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate is 97.4%, up from 87.4% in 2021–2022 and the highest among nearby schools with reported rates. By comparison, Stivers School For The Arts is 90.0%, Stebbins High School 89.4%, Wayne High School 87.9%, and Meadowdale High School 73.7%. Chronic absenteeism is also improving, falling from 60.2% in 2023–2024 to 39.3% in 2025–2026, though it remains slightly above the district rate and higher than those three comparison schools. Parents should see this as real progress, but attendance is still a barrier for many students.

Academically, the school’s state test results are low across most subjects. In 2025–2026, Geometry proficiency was only 3.3% and Biology 21.0%, both far below Ohio averages and below nearby comprehensive high schools such as Stivers School For The Arts, Stebbins High School, and Wayne High School. English II, Algebra I, and American Government/History also trail the state. The school generally mirrors its low-performing district and is even below the district in Algebra I. Compared with Meadowdale High School and Horizon Science Academy Dayton High School, results are mixed. The bottom line: the school is bottom-decile statewide, but it has made meaningful progress in graduation and attendance; the biggest academic gaps are Geometry and Biology.
