"My children have been attending Knapp Charter Academy for six years. I have never regretted my 25-minute commute each way; the benefits far outweigh the drive. The size of the school (only 3 classrooms per grade), the large number of volunteers and the open friendly atmosphere creates a feeling of community. Having the support from a strong community can enhance the entire school experience."

"The teachers work with the parents to create a positive team from both the student AND the parents. They help create a positive attitude toward learning and are available to discuss questions or concerns. The curriculum is taken very seriously, which promotes a high level of achievement for the students. Moral Focus is taught each week, practiced and adhered to. Administration, namely the principal, is also open to listening about concerns, new ideas, or just answering questions. Another huge asset is the front office staff. They are extremely informed about each child, teacher schedules, and school programs and policies."
Holly H. - parent of 6th and 8th grade middle school students

"From the moment that I walked in to Knapp Charter Academy, I was impressed. The building was clean and neat, and well organized. The walls were filled with artwork and projects the children had done. As I walked down the hallway to the gym, I was immediately greeted warmly by the staff. The staff was very informative and bright. I felt very much at home there upon my first impression the very first time I was there."

"I have now been a parent in the school for about three years and my first impression has not changed since that first encounter. I have had the opportunity to work hand in hand with the school and its staff. I am always encouraged to be involved and I have enjoyed every moment of it. I am so glad that they involve me and that they welcome my opinions and concerns. This is a great school and I can't say enough positive things about the school. I am proud to be a Knapp Parent."
Sandra E. - Parent of a 2nd grade elementary student

"I am extremely proud and honored to say that I have been a Knapp Charter Academy parent for 7 years now. I have 3 children attending this awesome school. Our school is outstanding both academically and morally. The teachers and staff are passionate and have great respect for our students and parents."

"One of the greatest concerns we have as parents is the safety of our children. At Knapp, we recently installed a new electronic sign-in system that allows the staff to track visitors that enter our school, whether volunteering to help in a class or to attend an assembly. We also have between one and four dads participating daily in a new program called WATCH D.O.G.S., it stand for Dads of Great Students. This program gets dads more involved with school and the safety of our students. It is comforting to know that our kids are in a safe environment."
Cindy W. - Parent of 1st, 5th, and 7th grade students
