School Reviews2 10/10/2025Being a white student, my child has had to learn to deal with an abundance of racial slurs on a daily basis, with absolutely no support from administration.2 10/10/2025We have had two kids to go to Northridge one is currently attending, he is going to 8th grade. He has an audio processing disorder, and a side effect is ADHD. They do not have to contact us relentlessly about his grades are behavior, which was what we expected. I was astounded at how well the school teachers handle his behavior, and how they make him want to show them good behavior and challenge him to learn. He does not test well at all and showed significant growth on his eog this year. The Principal and teachers push these kids to excellence. We have only had a few minor hiccups but nothing serious. We do know that the office is open to us if we need them.Review Northridge Middle School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
