The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My time at Northridge High School was nothing short of interesting. All that can be said is high school is what you make it. There will always be flaws and dislikes. It's about finding the right people and enjoying it while it lasts.

Northridge is one of the only school corporations I've attended and I'd say it's pretty good. Theres very few fights and the teachers care about students. The work load is very minimal for homework and tests are relatively easy. The start time is decent and after school activities are fun. There are multiple dance opportunities through out the school year. All athletic games are free for high school students with ids.

I very much enjoyed my time at Northridge. I loved most of the teachers, they all were willing to work with you to help you succeed. There was a good amount of resources available if you needed help, either from teachers or counselors. I always felt safe there, and all the staff made sure it was a good environment to learn in. I believe it was one of the best high schools around.

I’m an alumni. Very few teachers cared at all, and those who did didn’t care about everyone, just a few of the very smart kids. If you’re Christian, Jewish or of the Islamic faith, forget about being protected from blatant hatred and bullying. I got severely bullied and targeted by the head choir in...

This school from the K all the way to highschool has major issues despite Covid. There are multiple parents who can’t control the drug issues in the area bit yes it’s a huge problem.
