Northridge Middle School, constructed in 1987, serves 475 sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students residing in the northern half of Montgomery County. It is a part of the North Montgomery Community School Corporation which serves the communities of Darlington, Linden, New Richmond, Waynetown, Wingate, and northern suburbs of Crawfordsville. The communities are predominantly agricultural and commuter in orientation. Cultural, social, educational, entertainment, and recreational advantages are a result. Northridge begins with a broad curriculum of the basic subjects for all grade levels including language arts, math, social studies, science, and reading.
All students receive a six-week exploratory of fine and practical arts.
In this cycle, sixth-grade students receive six weeks of agriculture, guidance, family living, industrial technology, art, and general music. Students participating in band or choir do so during first period enrichment classes. All students participate in health and physical education throughout the school year. All students are part of a block team with six teachers in the core academic subjects. There is one team for each grade level and one that includes all of the rotation teachers.
