North Star Academy

Summary:

North Star Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Duluth, Minnesota, part of the Duluth Public School District. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, it stands out for its diverse student population and relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby public schools.

North Star Academy has a more racially diverse student body than many of its neighbors, with 74.86% White, 5.03% African American, 4.47% Hispanic, and 10.61% two or more races. However, the school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, rising from 31.33% in 2020-2021 to 48.6% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9:1 to 13.1:1 over the past three school years, North Star Academy's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates, is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in math.

Comparing North Star Academy to nearby public schools, it is clear that the school is underperforming academically. Schools like Congdon Elementary, Hermantown Elementary, and Homecroft Elementary have significantly higher proficiency rates in both math and reading, as well as higher overall statewide rankings. North Star Academy's leadership and the Duluth Public School District will need to carefully examine these issues and implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes and the school's overall standing.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

North Star is the best middle school in the area, period. Close Quote

Friday, May 12, 2017

The reason we choose to enroll our child was because of their strong commitment to a balanced education. This school offers more music and arts time, and more recess compared to the Duluth Public Schools, and starts children learning Spanish in kindergarten and they continue to learn Spanish until 8th grade. North Star also has a longer school day than the public school system which helps with needing to find after school care. The teachers, administration, and auxiliary staff are all fantastic.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
