| 2 I am giving Knight Middle another chance. I would the school a 5. However. I think the teachers can definitely changellen our children with more homework and college readiness. I think the school focus on negative behavior more the comperhensive academics especially with Afirican Ameican boys. - Posted by Parent - Kylad |
