How to Apply
Northstar is a small school with a maximum enrollment of 90, however, class sizes are at the same Teacher/Student ratio as in other district Junior High Schools.
 

 Enrollment Policy

 

Northstar is open to any student in the Lake Washington School District. Students are chosen through an application and lottery process.

In general, applications assist us in getting to know prospective students and in planning the curriculum, rather than being a vehicle for excluding applicants.
