Knob Hill Elementary School

Pros: Love, love, love this school! They go above and beyond to teach the kids to advance. I’m so blessed that my son gets to attend here.
Cons: you double parking parents that enter the school through the exit, either get there early and find a parking or wait in that line of cars like everybody else! My son, daughter and I have almost been hit because of you!

When buying my first home, I researched schools in the area, and found that Knob Hill had some of the highest reviews. (On education sites, not Unilocal,btw.) So when I bought a house about a block away, I was overjoyed that our daughter only has a short walk to go to school. If you have to drive to pick-​up or drop-​off your kid, the traffic can be a bit out-​of-​control, although a new stop sign they’re putting up may help a bit.
But the most important thing is the education. When our daughter came to America, she couldn’t speak any English. Now, after only being in the USA 8 months, and attending first the kindergarten, and now first grade, I can say her English is excellent. (And I’m a native speaker.) I am so amazed that she can actually read and write. Although it could be her awesome genes, ;), I believe the staff at Knob Hill really care about their students and their ability to learn. Ms. King in first grade makes the extra effort to assign more homework and attention to those learning English as a second language, and it pays off!
I would highly recommend this school if you have the fortune to live in the area.

My daughter is a 1^st grader at Knob Hill Elementary. She started this school in March 2012 as a kindergartner, with a zero level of English, and after some 2 months was able to read and write simple words, and speak! (first language is Russian) The teachers are very professional and demanding, while the rest of personnel are caring and helpful. Special thanks to Mrs. Candice Clarke, Mrs. Miwa King, Mrs. Wendy Castellanos, and the Principal, Mrs. Carrie Geldard, to name a few.
