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.

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 have been at Knightdale Highschool for 3 of my 4 years of high school, and there have been times where I wish that I was somewhere else because of the lack of education I thought I was receiving. Other times I was relieved that I ended up where I was at because of the people that I have met and some of the teachers that I will remember for the rest of my life. For me, it has been a very mixed experience that I will look back to in times of need in the future. I would like to see an improvement in student involvement in classes and in school spirit however.

I attended Knightdale High School, a place of diverse experiences and memories. I encountered some truly amazing teachers who inspired and guided me, fostering my love for learning. Their dedication and passion left a lasting impact on me. However, not every experience was perfect; some teachers and faculty members were less supportive, presenting challenges I had to overcome.

I think this school could benefit from learning from other schools. This school is rated a D school. I think administration, faculty etc... could learn from an A rated school on ways they can improve. I am so grateful my son had a good experience there.

I am about to graduate and expect graduation to be the happiest day of my life. I hate this place and it had made me hate learning, which I previously was passionate about. There are fights happening more often than normal for a high school. Who gets into a fight on the first day of school?
