Summary
Northridge High is a large public high school in Layton, Utah, serving grades 10–12 and enrolling 1,984 students in the Davis District. Located about 2 miles from Layton High and less than 2 miles from Clearfield High, it offers families a useful set of nearby traditional-school comparisons. Northridge’s latest statewide ranking is 107th of 139 Utah high schools, at the 23rd percentile, a substantial decline from its 68th-percentile position in 2015–16.
Academic performance is the school’s clearest challenge. In the latest 10th-grade results, 42.1% of students were proficient in English language arts, 21.6% in mathematics, and 30.1% in science. These results trail both district and state averages, with mathematics standing out as the largest concern. Northridge also ranks below nearby Davis High, Syracuse High, Clearfield High, and Layton High in the latest overall comparisons. Its student-teacher ratio of 25.1:1 is similar to nearby schools, so the lower results do not appear to reflect an unusually high ratio alone.
Graduation is a relative strength: 92.7% of students graduated in 2024–25, above Utah’s 89.8% rate, while the dropout rate improved to 4.7%. The main operational concern is attendance; 28.9% of students were chronically absent, higher than the district, state, and each nearby traditional-school comparison. Northridge’s English Language Learner effectiveness ranking reached the 61st percentile, but results for low-socioeconomic-status students and White students were in the low 20th percentile range. Overall, the most important priorities are reducing absenteeism, strengthening mathematics and science instruction, and maintaining recent progress in graduation and dropout outcomes.
