Knob Hill

This is one of the worst Chesapeake public schools we have attended. Since day, one administration has been the worst. They do not take care of bullying at all. The kids behaviors are out of control. If you’re wanting an elementary school, they’re way better ones in the Chesapeake system.

The teachers and staff at this school are absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, the administration does not match their level of excellence. Students are punished excessively for small offenses. Teachers and families fear retaliation for speaking out. Sadly, seasoned educators and some students have left the school as a result of these and other leadership concerns.

It could be an okay school if ALL of the teachers were good to the children, but they are not. The principle treats us like 5-year-olds and has no respect for us. The school is very cheap and not clean AT ALL. It is literally falling apart everywhere. Our principal and vice principal and most of the teachers are not very nice, they don't understand kids at ALL. The school was much better 2 years ago, when the principal and staff were different. I do not recommend this school. They are lucky with the 2.

Our student had a very mixed experience at this school, but overall 1 star due to the administration. Multiple incidents involving bullying and injury to our student , with zero consequences or action from administration, negligent behavior. Over the past year we had multiple incidents that were brought to the attention of admin, including another student breaking our student's bone, which was a very serious injury. No consequences for the other student and administration retaliated when we pushed for action/consequences. Was basically told that "boys will be boys". Our student did have 3 very good teachers during their time there, but also 2 teachers that were very rough. So overall, a very mixed bag of educators. I would definitely not recommend this school, with the current administration.
