Northstar Community Junior High School is a Lake Washington School District "Choice School" servicing 7th through 9th grade students. All Lake Washington School District students entering the 7th grade are welcome to apply and must do so in the spring of their 6th grade year. Priority is determined by a lottery system so that all who apply have an equal chance to attend. Those who are not chosen will be put on a wait list. While the lottery is for incoming 7th graders, older students may apply also, but will be admitted on a "space available" basis.
