What this school's NCES data tells you
Northridge Middle School reports 445 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 19.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 23.4:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 28% above the Ohio state mean of 18.3:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 47% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Counselor coverage works out to roughly 445 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 24.9% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Northeastern Local spends $31,834 per pupil district-wide, above the Ohio average of $16,867 and above the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 38.4% from local sources (property taxes), 54.8% from the state, and 6.8% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 31/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
