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.

My favorite experience about my school is the people whether it be the students,friends,teachers and more. I like how teachers take time out of there after or before school to assist students and I've made friendships in the school I will never forget. if I could change something I didn't like it would be phone policy I feel as if we should have a little freedom considering we are almost adults.

My experience at North Star High school has been great. The music department is phenomenal and creates a place where you can be you. The athletic department is a competitive and fun place to be at. The teachers are compassionate and make sure that you are ready for future academics after high school. Overall, North Star is a wonderful high school and I will be looking back on the days where I was able to go here.

North Star is a great high school in Lincoln. It can get a bad name being on the north side but it is a beautiful facility with an administration that cares for their students and wants them to enjoy the high school experience. I have heard complements from local colleges that our student counselors are some of the best and they do a great job preparing our students for college. They have great performing arts and sports programs. They just opened a new aviation wing in our school to help prepare future generations that may work at our local aviation facility. The teachers care and your student WILL find their niche here.

The activities, diversity, teacher support, facility and overall building (building is 20 years old and still looks like new), and just overall experience is unlike anything else you'll get at any Linc...

After 4 years at the school and being graduated I can honestly say I wouldn't have wanted to attend any other school. I've made amazing connections with the teachers that I continue to be in contact with. They are always there for me even through college. They care so much about your learning and yo...
