Terrible, seems like the staff would like to do more but they don't

This school truly cares about the success of the students. The principal and the teachers are completely dedicated to design engaging lessons and activities to meet the academic needs of all the students and this is always done in a caring and kind way. I can't think of a better school for my kids.

Knapp is one of the highest rated elementary schools in the South West. Just take a look at their scores

Knapp staff takes a great deal of time to teach students about positive character traits as well as the required curriculum, helping students to be well-rounded individuals. Students are in a safe environment where they can be themselves, ask questions and have fun!

This school does not follow through, and the staff has absolutely no accountability. The principal is quick to dismiss concerns and the children are the ones who are punished for their lack of humility and blatant laziness. The curriculum is below the level it should be and behavior of staff, students, and parents is atrocious. Disrespect is abundant and no one seems to care to change this. My daughter had an excellent teacher for kindergarten but the quality of her education and my experience with staff got progressively worse every year! She will be attending a different school entering 4th grade, ... It will be worth the drive to find a group that actually cares about their students at another location. They do nothing about bullying and consistently set expectations that they do not follow up on. So disappointed in this school, especially the principal and his disregard for being professional or a positive influence for my child.

Worst school I've delt with my sin was getting bullied and nothing was being done very minimal effort in this school. They are trying to get paid with least effort to do their job. They are rude and definitely do not have patience for kids what so ever if you don't like your job please quit your job instead of mistreating the children. They talk horrible about the kids and complain especially the two front office ladies that sit and eat in front while handing out tardy oasses! I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY ONE TAKE THEORY KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL. !!!!!

Worst school my kid hates it staff is rude and yells at the kids . They are not compassionate or caring. Several occasions I've heard the front ladies who hand out the tardy passes talking horrible and complaining about students and parents! Parents are not allowed in the building! What's really going on inside the school walls? Staff is lazy and does minimal but wants to get paid I feel as if a new staff is due! That cares and has patience for kids! They treat parents with no respect! I will be reporting to board of education and news stations !! DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL!!!
