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.

If I could go back into time and change my school back to my hometown, I would. I live in Uvalde, but I drive to Knippa everyday to have A better education. One of the biggest reasons I wouldn't come back to this school is because that this school does not have football. Another reason I would not come here is because I have more friends in Uvalde High School

The most fun extracurricular activity in my opinion is tennis. I love one on one competition. It is mainly fun because of the tennis coach.

The overall quality of the teacher at Knippa high school is at it's best. It could be a little better in some classes, but when I first came to this high school, I struggled a lot. Over the years I have learned to always be on top of everything and I believe that I am now college ready.

The school does give kids a fair amount of work, which is a good thing. But for such a small school (13-15 classroom) they do a poor job of helping kids struggling. I would go as far as saying if your kid is special needs (ADD, ADHD, Aspergers) I would not go there. It seems they are more worried ab...

If your kid is a good learner than this might be the place. I don't think young elementary kids should be having anxiety about testing. Teaching is about helping the ones that need it. Seem more worried about school reputation than anything else. Make any kind of waves and they do their best to get...
