Summary

Knights View Elementary School, a pre-K through 5th grade school in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools serving 511 students in south Charlotte, NC, is a standout performer even by the high standards of its neighborhood. It holds a 5-star SchoolDigger rating and ranks #35 out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools, placing it in the 98th percentile statewide while its home district sits in just the 57th percentile. On 2025–2026 state EOG tests, every grade and subject posted proficiency rates 20 to 30 percentage points above state averages, including 4th-grade reading at 92% and 5th-grade science at 93%.

Where Knights View truly distinguishes itself is in its results for every group of students. It ranks #2 in North Carolina for special education students, and its economically disadvantaged, African American, and Hispanic students all perform in the top 2% of schools statewide. English learners rank in the top 6%. With a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.6% — compared to 26.8% across CMS and 24.2% statewide — students are in class and ready to learn, and a favorable 14.5:1 student-teacher ratio supports that momentum.

Knights View sits in one of the strongest clusters of elementary schools in the Charlotte region. It ranks ahead of most nearby CMS peers like Elon Park Elementary, Ballantyne Elementary, McAlpine Elementary, and Endhaven Elementary, and it sits in the same elite tier as Polo Ridge Elementary, Hawk Ridge Elementary, and Rea Farms STEAM Academy — all top-30 schools statewide. Its 4th-grade reading proficiency also tops nearly every nearby Union County Public Schools rival, including Sandy Ridge Elementary, Rea View Elementary, and Marvin Elementary. The main area to watch is 3rd-grade reading at 76.9% — still far above district and state averages, but lower than several local peers — along with a modest year-over-year dip from already exceptional scores. For parents, Knights View represents one of the region's most effective schools, particularly for students who are too often underserved elsewhere.
