GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

North Star has great academics when wanting college readiness. I have gone to North Star since kindergarten and have loved the close connection you feel to others. Something they could improve on is communication within the teachers. They have some tendency's of not talking to eachother about important information and sometimes impacting you. Other than that North Star has great clubs to help get you involved with the community.

It is a very academically rigorous school with a large homework load. They participate in the IB program, which is one of the reasons for it's rigor. The teachers are very nice and very supportive and are always willing to answer questions in and out of class time. Because it is a small school everyone is very close and it is easy to make friends.

The school is a good school if your child is very driven and high achieving. They put a lot of pressure on the students in elementary. The principle and office staff are great! The teachers have to many kids and seem overwhelmed all the time.
