Summary:
The Northridge Local district in Ohio has only one high school, Northridge High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a student population of 422. While the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 96.5%, its academic performance is significantly below the state average across all subject areas, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I.
Northridge High School's chronic absenteeism rate is a concerning 60.2%, much higher than the state average. This likely contributes to the school's low academic performance, as measured by state test scores. Additionally, the school's racial makeup is 59.24% White, 25.12% African American, 5.69% Hispanic, and 9.48% two or more races, which may indicate potential equity and access issues that need to be addressed.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student and student-teacher ratio, Northridge High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Addressing the root causes of the school's low academic performance, high absenteeism, and potential equity concerns should be a top priority for the Northridge Local district to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
