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 Idaho STEM Charter Academy is a good school to attend, especially if you are very ambitious, and a hard worker. A lot of students will not make it here, because the workload can be pretty rigorous, but in the end, the students who make it through their senior year typically end up attending top notch schools, with thousands of dollars worth of scholarship money, and hundreds of hours of hands-on experience.

Pretty much a school made to prepare students for college. This it does well. If your interested in sports though, this is not the school for you. Otherwise a great school, never got jumped.

The teachers would abuse their power, going out of their way to humiliate students. As you may have seen from other reviews here, the...

I know as you read this you have no idea who I am, I am a parent who had high hopes for my kids at this school and both my kids were passing everything getting A’s, B’s and a few C’s (whi...
