About Northridge Learning Center/dorius Academy

Northridge Learning Center/Dorius Academy serves 48 students in grades 9-12 in Layton, Utah, operating as a specialized public high school with a notably small enrollment. With just 3 full-time equivalent teachers, the school maintains an 18.5:1 student-teacher ratio, allowing for more individualized attention than typical high schools. The school's intimate size creates a unique educational environment where students can receive more personalized support and instruction.

While the school ranks #74 out of 77 Utah high schools and holds a state ranking in the 5th percentile, this specialized setting appears designed to serve students who may benefit from a smaller, more focused learning community with room for academic growth. Located in a large suburban area of Davis County, the school sits within the 84041 ZIP code, a stable community where families enjoy a median household income of $82,890 and median home values of $354,900. The surrounding neighborhood has a college education rate of 31% and maintains a relatively low poverty rate of 9.8% among its 55,009 residents.

Northridge Learning Center/Dorius Academy offers an alternative educational approach within Layton's well-established suburban community, providing a smaller-scale high school experience for students who may thrive in this more intimate academic setting.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 48 students, Northridge Learning Center/dorius Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

As a private school, Northridge Learning Center/dorius Academy operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
