Nikiski North Star Elementary, constructed in 1987, is located in Nikiski, Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula, 15 miles north of the City of Kenai. In 2004, the two Nikiski elementary schools consolidated into one with the new name of Nikiski North Star Elementary. The new school is characterized by strong parental and community support. The school is proud to be considered a "School of Character". CHARACTER COUNTS! is supported by our community as well. Academics continue to be the main focus of the school.
