How good is North Star Elementary?
North Star earns a 5 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, near the middle for Utah elementaries. It is a Title I community school serving a northwest-side neighborhood, with roughly 82 percent of students economically disadvantaged, and straight state proficiency runs below the Utah average in that context. Two things the number does not show: North Star works from one of the newer buildings among west-side elementaries, and it carries the wraparound support that comes with community-school status. Families weighing west-side options often value that combination of a modern campus and hands-on support.
