GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love how engaged some of the teachers are. I have never had a teacher who wasn't friendly and ready to help at Knightdale. Their teaching styles are easily adaptable. One thing I don't like is sometimes the workload is very light and it leaves me with too much free time. One thing that I would like to see change is the pace of the class. I think that it goes too slow and I feel like more could be accomplished. Other than that I have a good experience at Knightdale High School.

The School has come a long way since the new principal was hired but the school is in bad conditions and it needs repairs in bathrooms, stairs. The teachers are very nice though and very interacted with the students.

I am about to graduate and expect graduation to be the happiest day of my life. I hate this place and it had made me hate learning, which I previously was passionate about. There are fights happening more often than normal for a high school. Who gets into a fight on the first day of school?
