I do not know where you get your information from because my daughter has 29 students in her class. Which is too many to get an effect education.

I've been going to this school for 9 years and have realized that once you get into the middle school everyone splits into cliques, if you're not a perfectionist, 'hot', or thin then you might be in a whole heap of trouble. The teachers are very young (in their 20's) and refer to themselves as 'old'?! They often act like teenagers, and are impatient at times but they can build up a great relationship with their students. :)

I was really pleased with my son's progress in first grade this year. He was struggling with his reading and his teacher and other specialists at the school helped us figure out why. They worked with him at school and sent home activities for us to help him as well. At the beginning of the school year, he was scoring below average-now, he scored well above the class goal for reading. We were able to turn somthing that could be negative for him into a great experience that helped him feel good about himself! I'm so glad that his teacher and the reading specialists were willing to take time to figure out how he learns in a way that makes him enjoy, not dread, his reading!

I've been going to Knapp Charter since 4th grade, and have really improved in my work. I am proud to say I am a student there. The teachers are willing to help each child individually, and it has a very safe environment! I wake up each morning, excited for school!

I have been attending Knapp for nearly 7 years. It seems that many of the teachers do not have a key in on the talents of the individual students. On the other hand, the teachers do seem to have a well meaning. They can make a relationship between a student (as much as their time allows, and they seem to go a little further than is required( which can make all the difference for a struggling student) I hope this review is especially helpful to those with gifted or struggling students.

This is my first year with Knapp and so far I feel I have made the right decision to switch my daughter to Knapp.

My son and I love Knapp Charter Academy. He is in his first year there in kindergarten. His teacher is amazing, as is the principal and the ladies who work in the office. He is learning everything he should be and more. The environment is safe and the parents are very involved in the school. The Moral Focus is nothing you would find at a public school. The excitement and dedication of the staff seems to be contagious. I, like most parents, want nothing but the best for my child and we have found that at Knapp.

This is a great school if you are smart, thin, and physically attractive. If you are LD, overweight and average looking your life will be hell.
