Knapp Forest Elementary School
This is a great school. I have a son who struggles in school and they made every effort to help those who do struggle to not only learn, but to feel valued as well. They also help those that excel in school to grow too.
Most of the teachers are there for the students. As a parent, I believe every child would be welcomed and get a great education.
