There are many fights in school making me feel unsafe to bring my kid to school, It also doesn't have much diversity. They bring home silly letters on the middle of the year that tell us the school supplies they need to be a good student and tell us they will be checking our children's book back for it, is they don't have it they will be in trouble but then once we buy the stuff and waste our money after already buying stuff at the beginning of the year they don't do any heck's and never speak about it again.

My daughter is a 6th grader at Northridge, and this was her feeder school as she filtered in through DJV's Tech program. I was reluctant at first because of the reviews but noticed that many of them came from the kids (go figure!). It's a computer science magnet so everything is digitalized, which I can appreciate. The teachers are very involved, I like the high percentage of male presence, and there's plenty of homework and resources! My daughter's work seems to be challenging and involves a lot of critical thinking and organizational development (says I, with a Master's Degree from a competitive university). It sent a very diverse school but I don't have a problem with that, and she's comfortable. We live in Grove Park, so it's in the neighborhood (short bus/car ride), and is preparing my daughter for her future with all the tech. Principal Golden has done an outstanding job and recently transferred to Butler High but I'm sure well get a comparable replacement.

Great school. High male presence, which is a good balance for kids. Teachers are involved, and the tech is great. Challenging work and great critical thinking and organizational development. Only thing missing is the diversity but we're okay with that. Coming from someone with a Master's degree from a competitive school and a lucrative career I'm happy my daughter attends this school. Another, plus-it's in the neighborhood-she's just five minutes away.

We 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.

Being 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.
