Incredible, dedicated teachers who love what they do, love who they teach, and know how to help every student achieve the highest level of education possible. My kids are challenged and stretched academically every day. This is far more than I can say from my children's attendance at other public schools where a few times I walked into the classroom to find, instead of an actively engaged teacher asking in-depth questions and interacting with the students, I found teachers sitting in the corner of the classroom eating a snack while students watched public broadcasting children's shows. These teachers aren't here for a paycheck- they're here to create future leaders and are doing a fine job at it! Close Quote

I have 3 kids who attend North Star Charter and they are getting an excellent education and being challenged by their teachers. My kids are in the top of their class and still learning daily. All the teaching staff at North Star are amazing and doing a fantastic job. The teachers are dedicated to helping students learn and there isn't a single teacher that I wouldn't want my kids to be in their classroom.

Yes, they had some growing pains a couple years ago when they expanded and also had tough budget cuts but the teachers remained dedicated to the students and continued providing superior teaching in the classroom. The current administration has been doing a great job with making necessary changes to insure that North Star will be successful in the future.

Our children's quality of education is extremely important to my husband and I and we both are confident that North Star is the best place for them. Close Quote
