Research McKnight Middle School public Schools in Seattle, Washington

“I think the teachers are very experienced. And very imaginative. The school is very friendly and care. They would make sacrifices for any students. The school is a great place to get somewhere in your life and full of opportunities. But it would be great if people donated money to the school like box tops and stuff as you noticed that teachers are being let go because of budget problems.”

“As a student i think this school has a lot of giving to students.I love the teachers because they all understand and try too help you as best as they can.I really recomend this school to every parent. THIS SCHOOL IS THE BEST!”

“Teachers: All are kind and willing to help if you are in physical or emotional distress, but most do not show this in their normal classroom front. I was lucky enough to have a teacher one year who expressed he was supportive of his students completely in nearly every way possible for a teacher. Learning: The apptitude of students vary greatly in this school, therefore, learning can often be too slow or too fast. Fortunately, there are honors programs for Language Arts and Social Studies and AP programs for math to earn high school credit. I am currently participating in both and find them very encouraging. Discipline: Rules are changed constantly, to the point where many of my peers and I are thoroughly confused by what appropriate lunchroom behavior. They have just recently changed the rules but have not informed us of any changes. Many teachers personal rule and standards.”

“Well right now i am going to go into 8th grade. I have been at Mcknight middle school since i was in 6th grade. This last year was the best mostly for the teachers they were great.

“My son struggled this year because of the math class he was put in. (9th grade math when he was a 7th grader). I spoke with the teacher and the counselor and both insisted this was the best class for him. My straight A student ended the year with a D. Bottom line. In a school this size go with your gut instinct. This teacher was too arrogant to listen and the counselor was too mousy to intervene. It's a big school and they go by test scores. I can see how a child could get lost in the shuffle here.”
