NORTH STAR ONLINE SCHOOL is a public other school serving grades KG–12 in RENO. It is one of 115 current school records connected to Washoe County. NCES reports 575 students for 2024–25.
Among 23 other schools in Nevada with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 797 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 48th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 26.1:1, close to the Nevada median of 25.5:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (48.5%) and Hispanic or Latino (33.4%). English learners represent 6.8% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 10.7%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
