McKnight Middle School

This school was traumatic for me. I am an alumni who went to this school and I speak from experience. The teachers hand out detentions constantly, and control over bullying is nonexistent. It was made very clear during my experience here that the administration had very little knowledge that what they were doing made things worse.

Do NOT send your child to McKnight Middle School. Very ghetto kids run around the school, and from experience the curriculum is about 2 years behind normal. Bullying is not taken seriously, and 1/2 the teachers dont interact well with students, or help them.

I do like this school for my middle schooler, but I find that disciple for these students are sometimes taken to far and these kids get punished to the extremes. On the other hand the staff are very very caring people and try their best to make every effort that no student is left behind! My student struggled for a bit but with the help of teachers and other staff , he is now caught up and doing his best for the remainder of the year.

McKnight is a great school! Everyone has a friend! The teachers are awesome! My forst week of 6th grade was a tough week for me, but my teachers and friends helped me get through it! The teachers challene us and push us to do our best! Although I don't like getting up early, I love coming to school!

My kid is a 4.0 GPA ,and is supported by the staff and teachers alike. She plays the violin for the past three years and has developed good friends that share a goal. Excellent teachers!

McKnight is a very experience school over the years and are completely in control. they always know what their doing and make the students feel welcome and cooperative in school. McKnight defentely earned the 6 rated, even higher. I would highly suggest, as a student if you want you're children to see the light of seeking life changing oppurtunies,... send them to McKnight Middle School

I think the teachers are very experienced. And very imaginative. The school is very friendly and care. They would make sacrifices for any students. The school is a great place to get somewhere in your life and full of opportunities. But it would be great if people donated money to the school like box tops and stuff as you noticed that teachers are being let go because of budget problems.

Teachers: All are kind and willing to help if you are in physical or emotional distress, but most do not show this in their normal classroom front. I was lucky enough to have a teacher one year who expressed he was supportive of his students completely in nearly every way possible for a teacher. Learning: The apptitude of students vary greatly in this school, therefore, learning can often be too slow or too fast. Fortunately, there are honors programs for Language Arts and Social Studies and AP programs for math to earn high school credit. I am currently participating in both and find them very encouraging. Discipline: Rules are changed constantly, to the point where many of my peers and I are thoroughly confused by what appropriate lunchroom behavior. They have just recently changed the rules but have not informed us of any changes. Many teachers personal rule and standards.
