This School is TOP TIER. The staff and teachers go above and beyond when it come to our children. When my eldest son was in 1st grade he left his coat at school one Friday afternoon. It was a 3 day weekend and we were to have very cold weather in our area. His teacher, after working ALLLL day and still having 2 elementary age kids of her own drove to our house and dropped of his coat!! Above and Beyond. My youngest who is in kindergarten come home crying his 1st day of school b/c he had an "accident". He said he was afraid to ask his teacher to go to the bathroom because she was busy with another student. I sent her a message just lettings her know what happened so she could be in the loop. She called that same afternoon and wanted to talked to him, she reassured my little guy that she's never too busy to help him and that she was so excited to have him in her class. ABOVE and BEYOND. These acts of kindness are just a few on the long list of examples I have where the Knox teachers and staff have shown that they Truly care and love what they do.

Sent two children through Knox and it was a wonderful experience, as well as an experience that prepared both for middle school.

Overall okay, they need to get better with dealing with bullying as well as children with medical issues.

I do not currently have a good opinion of the school because of the difficulties in communication and the apparent lack of leadership from the school's administration.

Caring teachers that take the time to really invest in their work and your children. PTA does a lot for the school and the families. Both my kids truly enjoy their experiences here.

Knox elementary school is excellent. My daughter is in 5th grade. She has learned a lot from her teachers and she was the school spelling bee champion. Her teachers were proud of her and some of them went to the competition to support her. All the teachers are great and the administration is very friendly. The school is always clean and it has an amazing environment.

My son is in 2nd grade, and he loves going to school at Knox. The entire staff is friendly, and it's obvious that they have a real passion for teaching and learning. The school provides lots of opportunities for parent involvement, and the kids engage in meaningful learning experiences every day. We LOVE Mrs. Tucker and are thankful to be part of such a wonderful school!

This is an excellent school. We have 2 children currently attending and 1 more that will start soon. My son started Kindergarten the here the year the school opened. We have been extremely impressed with the amount of parent and community involvement in the school. The principal takes a sincere interest in the children both individually and as a whole and the PTA has been extremely active and supportive. The teachers are great. Some are better than others as is the case anywhere but I think you will find that overall this school has a lot of exceptionally good teachers.
