My experience at Northstar School has been quite well. I have taken multiple off campus trips and new experiences between culinary and going to a renaissance festival. Something I truly enjoy about Northstar is how small the classes are. Due to having very little students in my class I get a lot of one on one attention and help is always available. Something I would like to see change is their approach to the racism that goes on. I would like to see them make a public statement saying they don't tolerate racism and these are the consequences. I would like to see them be a lot stricter.

I love Northstar school. The teachers are all exceptional. The students are unique and there is someone for everyone to be friends. The curriculum is difficult with worth it when we see the colleges that our seniors get accepted. I would recommend this school.

There are some really great teachers, and then some really poor teachers. It really depends on the timing of your enrollment and what grad you're in. The great teachers really have an innate ability to teach and are helpful to anything you need. The poor teachers do not teach well and stray off topic in class.

Northstar is one of the smallest private school gems in the area that starts at 7th grade and goes through 12th grade. I have had 3 kids go to this school since 2017. The vast majority of the teachers are highly qualified and have advanced degrees which is hard to find in a private school. The acade...

Northstar School's class size leads it to be one of the best! The teachers are top-notch and go out of their way to work with students. As a parent I love the diverse curriculum and exposure these kids get. We also love the relaxed environment to which my student has thrived.
