This school is behind other area school and I have found many of the teachers to be unprofessional and unprepared. My child found that the math classes were what she learned in middle school. I have been to the school several times (during school hours)and I am never questioned as to why I am there or who I am for that matter.
I believe the Knox Community School Corporation is a great program. I was a former student at Knox, and I see so many good qualities it brings compared to different schools. For one academically, they have advanced classes, and weighted classes, which are excellent for a student's GPA. The school is very well organized; the teachers usually have the whole year planned for the students. I believe they have good discipline, there is not much stealing, or chaos; it's a generally calm environment. Their extracurricular activities are nicely disciplined, especially the music program. They have several scheduled school board meetings, which all parents are more than welcomed to attend. Many awards are giving at these. Overall, I think Knox has a good quality school program, I know people who stay in the district only for the school.
My Children have been attending school in Starke County (Knox) now for 7 yrs. I have seen some good things and some bad. As a parent I worry about the safety of my children. I worry about the kind of teachers that Knox is hiring and have hired to teach my kids. Just because a person is a teacher or a coach has a winning season doesn't make him/her fit to teach our kids. Knox needs to put our kids first instead of worrying about championships and trophies. I don't see things changing much though until more parents in this community step up and say we've had enough of these actions and won't tolerate them anymore.
