Welcome to the Northridge Local School District, Home of the Vikings! We are a close-knit community serving approximately 1,200 students across four schools: preschool, elementary, middle, and high school. With a student-teacher ratio of 18:1, we provide personalized attention to ensure every student’s success.

 

Our district boasts a centralized campus that includes the district office, high school, middle school, and elementary school, creating a seamless educational experience. We are proud to feature our state-of-the-art athletic stadium, which has become a hub for student-athletes and the community to gather and celebrate Viking pride.

 

Northridge is honored with the Purple Star designation, recognizing our dedication to supporting military-connected students. We offer resources and a supportive environment to help these students transition smoothly into our schools, ensuring their academic success and well-being.

 

Our district spans 137 square miles across Licking, Knox, and Delaware counties, offering the charm of rural living. The communities of Homer, Hartford, and Alexandria are known for their rolling farmland, spacious properties, and close-knit atmosphere. Northridge families enjoy a peaceful lifestyle while being close to larger cities like Columbus, just 20 miles away.

 

We are committed to providing a high-quality education that prepares students for success. Northridge High School offers Advanced Placement courses and a gifted program, alongside a variety of extracurriculars in sports, music, and clubs. With a focus on individual attention and rigorous academics, we ensure that students have the tools to reach their full potential.

 

Northridge partners with the Career and Technology Education Centers (C-TEC) of Licking County to offer specialized programs in medical and technical fields. C-TEC provides our students with the skills needed for immediate employment and future education in high-demand industries.
