School Reviews

The teachers and counselors at this school are either overwhelmed by too many struggling students, or are simply not willing to work with those that do. At this point I know there are many students in the last two years who did not graduate for one reason or another. How successful is a school that consistently has good students dropping out?

Northridge has a large number of students who either don't have food or is struggling to obtain food. we do have resources at school, but not many students know we have a food pantry, or they are too afraid to ask because no one talks about it. There's not enough recognition for the fact that we HAVE the RESOURCES, it creates a stressful learning problem when these kids cant ask for help because they don't know how or they are afraid.
