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 don't have words for how very grateful I am on going to Knox Trail. I was scared at first, but after a while I released how incredibly nice and caring all the teachers are. They made us feel so welcome and make learning very exiting! I recommend this school 100%!

A few staff members are really mean and kind of discourage me. I feel like my best somehow just isn't enough, even though I'm on honor roll. Also, declamation makes me want to die.

Knox Trail is, unfortunately, a pretty poor school. With the exception of a few, the teachers treat the kids like dirt and blame them for low MCAS scores. I've personally heard teachers berate kids in front of them and behind their backs. The testing results show what a horrible education these kids...
