Unsafe, bad principal, drugs, strangers, and beer cans on playground, children are falling more behind, so many substitutes and non teachers, rat problem inside, inside smells moldy. Go to another school.

My son went to this school and it was a wonderful experience for him. In addition to the great teachers and staff there is a secondary school across the street (Stellar) which provides student volunteers for the after school program. The mentoring and role modeling these volunteers provide are priceless. My son was fortunate enough to go to Stellar later and recently graduated. It was like being in a safe family environment for his entire school career and instilled in him a deep respect for kindness and community. While he was at North Star I enjoyed walking through the neighborhood with the kids as we went on field trips to the big local high school (West) to enjoy the absolutely incredible stage performances they put on once or twice a year. I hope other parents could say as much about the school their kids go to as I can say about North Star.
