KA @ The Crossings is very strict for no reason, they make you feel uncomfortable and stressful. I recommend putting your child in a Public Metro school like Cane Ridge High School.

Well Was in this school for 1 month and I have to say some things, First Of All, no library, no restroom hand sanitizer, poor academic learning/teachers make you sit at the computer all day, teachers really don't care about what you do Fights Usually happen in front of the class, one time a kid tried to throw a pencil at my eye and when I went to the office to report him I came back to my class and the teachers were mad at me, Thats When I had The Last Nerve I went to my house and, told my Mom everything, plus there are no windows in the 5th-grade class or clocks so it makes it very boring in there, NEVER SEND YOUR CHILD THERE, ITS UNSAFE

This school is very bad for children, as I am a student here, There are kids in my class that are running wild and saying racial slurs and the teacher brushes it off as if someone did not just say something aboslutely awful. This school has way too many fights and the saftey of the children is almosrt not existent, Disrespectful people and teachers that act like nothing is happening.

Not good at all. My daughter became depressed after being there just 3 months. Now that she is in a public school she is much happier and doing a lot better academically. Do not send your kid here.

Overall, the teachers and administration have an apparent desire to help students. However, this does not make up for the disruption caused by high turnover and changes to the teaching and administrative staff mid-year. While I had high hopes for Knowledge Academies, I was ultimately disappointed with the inconsistent teaching and below-average test scores. We will not be returning for the 2017-2018 school year.

As with most middle and high schools, there are areas for improvement. However, my child's teachers are compassionate, attentive, and communicate with me. The school holds frequent community events that benefit students and parents. My son is happy here and enjoys learning at school.

All kinds of Problems are at this so called "school". Its Extremely Disorganized and the food is disgusting. The Staff never listens to the student's opinion. The student safety in my opinion is horrendous. Bullying is constant and the teachers brush it off like its not their problem. When a student or a group of students get in trouble, the whole class or grade gets in trouble for doing absolutely nothing. The Students don't get a good amount of education. They only have 2 AP Courses, unlike other schools which have 20-30 courses. They put the SPED kids run wild and not discipline them. Finally, they ask for your course options and they completely ignore that. Honestly, this school should be shut down

Knowledge Academy started out being a potentially great school. However it is very unfortunate that the school does not have well qualified teachers or staff. Mostly all of the teachers are quite young and have little to no experience. Arthur Fuller (Principal)is never around and leave staff that are unqualified to oversee the happenings within the school. If you have a child who has an IEP, I strongly suggest that you look elsewhere for quality education, as the school staff are already untrained and their frustrations grow quite high when dealing with children who have an IEP.
