its actually considered one of the best schools... the school has strict codes... there is never any instances of bullying and there are a lot of programs offered at this school... the elementary school is very advanced and usually are learning subjects on the level of most middle schools and the middle schools are like high school and etc. for the high school. I have gone to the school since fifth grade and even though the strictness is a bit of an annoyance... the school has great connections with colleges and a lot of people in high up places. the teachers are all smart and have really high education from outstanding schools. If you are looking for a school, northstar is the one to go to. Close Quote
