As a parent with a student in special education, I feel they're not doing much of anything for my child. They have a whole lot of "earn time" and it doesn't seem like much LEARN time. Communication with parents is basically non-existent, even if your child literally can't speak to tell you about the
Posted by a parent on 10/14/2024Having attended myself and having had four children attend this school. I can honestly say they could be one of the worst high schools overall, in the entire county ( which is a feat).The teachers have always been decent but the administrators are consistently horrible.I have never been treated with
Posted by a parent on 9/23/2023In my experience there are some staff and administrators that are great and teachers as well but overall you couldn’t pay me to send my kid back, his sibling will either be transferred or I will pay for private school. I know high school is hard on all kids but this place was a nightmare for our fam
Posted by a parent on 6/8/2020As a former student and parent of students. I feel Karns has went down hill at a rapid rate. Located in an ideal area for commuting one would think that the community would thrive however that is not the case. Karns has never had a tight knit community feel due to socio economic status but with the
Posted by a parent on 12/29/2013I would highly recommend all the Karns schools. Both of my children attended from K-12. Karns High School is the best kept secret in Knox County.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat concept and many good people in the community, but the school has high teacher turnover due to its small, all-male board that does not have a high view of females; it’s their way or the highway. Many, many great teachers have left the school because of problems with the school leadership.Parent Review2mo ago - Tates School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTate's has truly changed the trajectory of my child's education, and quite simply her childhood. She was always a good student and a curious child however Tate's has helped her become passionate about learning, reading, thinking, and "figuring it out" herself! She has some medical considerations and those have been managed far better than we were able to in public school. I can't say enough about how fully and beautifully Tate's has come alongside our 10 year old and our family as a whole.Parent Review9mo ago - Mill Creek Elementary School
