Compared to other Montana high schools, North Star High School stands out for its statewide ranking, placing 15th out of 124 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

While the school's per-student spending of $20,388 is significantly higher than the national average, the lack of data on free and reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and potential barriers to educational access. Nevertheless, North Star High School appears to be a high-performing and well-resourced institution that is providing a quality education to its diverse student body.
