GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

My overall experience at white knoll high school has been good this year. In past years I was concerned about my safety but since this year I have not had a worry about it. The school has taken more precautions and more rules have been set in place to make us feel more safe.

The best part to me about White Knoll High School was weight lifting class, sports medicine classes, medical terminology class and the Athletic Training facility. I enjoy becoming a Student AT and being involved in the sports assigned. The worst parts of White Knoll can be some of the students behavior time to time. What I would like to see change is more school spirit, when it comes to school spirit our school is not the best, we need to become more engaged with the school.

the best thing about white knoll is the diversity, the worst thing about white knoll is the inability to keep students and staff safe.

I am a current freshman at White Knoll High School. there are too many things to say that are wrong with that school. It has become a party school. Every single day there are at least 2-3 fights minimum. On the first day of the 21-22 school year, just about 10 guys started brawling right after schoo...
