While Knight Elementary outperforms the county and state averages, it is not the highest-performing school in the immediate vicinity. Nearby schools like Head Elementary and Gwin Oaks Elementary consistently rank higher and have stronger academic performance, with higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. These schools also have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to their academic success. Knight Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.98% to 74.36% in the past three school years, which could be a factor in the school's fluctuating performance.
