School Reviews

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.

Teachers are nice love the the school 9/10 uncooked spaghetti noodles.
2 5/30/2011
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?
