Parent: I remember hearing complaints about North Star Academy being too strict when I was in middle school. So when it came time for my child to find a K-12 school in Newark, I was hesitant to apply. But it was the best and most convenient option because not many Newark schools performed as well as North Star Academy has. So I reluctantly applied. Later on I went to open house and I have to admit I was blown away. I immediately felt welcomed and at ease. I loved that they were so focused on college readiness, demanded parental involvement (they're flexible), encouraged community and civic engagement, championed diversity and inclusion, and the flexibility, care, and support they've shown throughout this pandemic speaks volumes. I truly have no complaints about this school and I look forward to watching my child complete all of K-12 here.
Note: Keep in mind there are numerous campuses in the city so some reviews may be specific to a certain campus. This review is for the Vailsburg campus.
