William J. (Pete) Knight High School

Knight High is the first high school east of Sierra Highway to hit a 700 API score, infact it hit 714. Of the 8 high schools in the AVUHSD, 5 of them are east of Sierra Highway.. and KHS is only 8 years old!!! Way to go Hawks!

I attended the Orientation for freshman (class of 2015) and I have to say that I was blown away. From the Knighthawk Band to the graphic and design equipment at the school is state of the art. Head councelor Mr. Hart, is amazing in his energy that he shows and his enthusiasm to get the student set up to SUCCEED. As a parent I'm looking forward to my child going to this school and hope to get more parents involved to make this high school #1 in the district and in the Valley.

i recently graduated from this school about a year ago, and this is probably one of the best schools in the Antelope Valley. The teachers are great, and helped me prepare for a four-year university. I am now attending San Francisco State University, and I thank all of my teachers, because without them I wouldn't be here! School's great, sports are not that bad.

I was part of the first grad class I went to Pete Knight all 4 years of high school and loved it although my last year there were a lot of fights. There are some really great teachers here, I think its one of the better schools in the AV but thats just me. The band is by far the best in the AV and we have the awards and trophies to prove it. Proud member of the DAR!!!!

I am a grad from this school and I loved it. Though it tends to have a lot of fights it provides the students with great teachers, sadly that cant be said about the head faculty since the departure of Mr.Ford. I am currently attending a UC and was offered a full ride to UC Merced, I got accepted into CSULA,CSUF, CSUSB, Cal Poly Pomona, and my school UC Riverside and I know that I can thank the teacher at khs for this.

The Freshman Volleyball team is soo awesome! =D

The traffic is a concern...there is no control on how you can safely drop of the kids. The teachers do communicate if they need to, if not there is edline of course. Not all teachers keep the grades up on that though. Some teachers don't make contact after the child has fallen behind, which is sad. There should be some consistency in the way teachers want to work the edline. The school itself is nice as it is only a few years old.

This is for the person who said the city bus does not go to the school. The city bus actually stops right in front of the football field next to one of the schools driveways.

The traffic at this school is horrible. Whoever built this school didn't put a whole lot of thought into the traffic pattern. I live less than 6 miles from this school and it takes me almost an hour to get into and out of the school both in the morning and in the afternoon so I spend almost 2 hours driving each day - unacceptable!!! There is little or no communication with the teachers. All they say is check edline. The campus itself is very nice.

Its a wonderful school, Its the school that has the more helpfull staff and I am really impress by their Marching Band. I will like to see more support from the District specially for this school is just not fear that they have the same amount of security as some of the High School in the District with half the enrollment KHS has over 3,000 students its just not fear for our kids, hope this message will get to someone in the District and pray that they will do somehting about it.

I LOVE Khs Its the BEST SCHOOL in the AV! The teachers are AWSOME... and the people are cool too.... i cant imagine my self in any other school! graduating class of 2010! =]

To the parent who is worried about parent involvement are you aware that we have a large parent volunteer program and a parent coordinator on campus to help with your concerns. Edline is a great method to keep up with your childs progress and the counseloring staff is excellent

I am a senior at KHS and have spent all 4 years here. I have been accepted to 5 different Universities, including 3 UC campuses. We have as many or more AP classes than any other school in the AV which helps students achieve. The teachers are great and the education is great but Mr. Hart is OUTSTANDING. I would never have made it to my goal without the support of the counselors, and Mr. Hart especially.
