Northridge Elementary School

Summary:

Northridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, serving 734 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Northridge Local School District, which is ranked 718 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a significant student population, Northridge Elementary School faces several challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 36.4% to 43.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on the Ohio State Tests is consistently below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates around 30% or less in Mathematics and English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 62.1% and 64.5%, respectively. Northridge Elementary School has also consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools, placing it in the lowest performance tier according to the SchoolDigger rating system.

When comparing Northridge Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Brantwood Elementary School in the Mad River Local School District, it becomes evident that Northridge is underperforming. Brantwood Elementary has significantly higher academic proficiency rates and a higher statewide ranking than Northridge. The disparities in performance across student subgroups at Northridge, with some groups performing significantly worse than others, suggest that underlying factors, such as socioeconomic status, may be impacting the school's overall performance. Despite these challenges, there are opportunities for improvement, as the school's performance indicates that some students are achieving proficiency, suggesting that targeted interventions and support could help improve overall academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
