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 had a wonderful time my last 4 years of high school. I have had encouraging teachers and i have made friendships that i know will last a lifetime. The academics here are on another level. I have been able to take architecture/engineering all four years and it has prepared me for a future in engineering. I honestly can't say anything bad.

The school, like others has its ups and downs, some of the teachers you meet will impact you in ways words cannot describe. and others will destroy your self confidence. but the student life and atmosphere of pep rallies, sporting events, etc. will make your experience worth it.

Morris Knolls is an amazing school to develop into a young adult. The course load can be quite rigorous, but well worth the effort. The teachers that my son had the opportunity learn from are in my opinion "superior." He always felt that there was a good support system. He was involved in all aspect...
