Honestly I feel like I was tricked came to the school to do the walk-through and my daughter started her ninth grade here last year and the campus is beautiful and big. So I thought this was going to be a great environment for her. But every other day there’s videos of fights they even have an instagram page where both students and staff are caught sleeping in class. I have had to deal with the incompetent staff no set up for guidelines and policies lack of staff lack of transportation my daughter spent half of her 10th grade year failing classes because teachers weren’t grading assignments that were giving on days that they weren’t in school she went through her first quarter with only half of her teachers in multiple days of either not having a ride home from school or not having a ride to school I have come to pick my daughter up on multiple occasions and given different times for when I can pick her up from school which is a major inconvenience when you’re trying to let them actually stay for part of the class and pick them up before two which is the time that is stated but when the office doesn’t feel like dealing with it they’ll tell you you can’t pick up your child I am sick of schools that have rules and guidelines for children to follow in order for them to be successful but the adults don’t have to follow the same thing the school is all front all full of all looks if you care anything about your child education do not send them to Knightdale high school!!!!

Substituted at this school. About 4-5 kids in each period who do the work, and appear to belong in the grade level. The rest just ignore it and do nothing but play on their phones the entire time. At least half the kids have obviously been pushed through each year rather than being held back. Lots of debilitating behavioral issues. 60% of the kids legitimately seem functionally illiterate. Deeply depressing and upsetting. It’s in a new-ish neighborhood that seems nice, so not sure what’s up, either way whatever funding this school gets is money being set on fire.

My son was a student here for 3 years and fell behind with many of the other students. The teachers barely meet the minimum curriculum needed for the age requirements of the state. Physical fights in classrooms and bullying are very common here. I removed my child from this school and he has been excelling academically, socially, and emotionally. This school will only hold your child’s potential back. I highly recommend not going here.
