Senior: I moved to Webb my junior year in high school and have nothing but positive things to say! Even though moving schools in high school can be hard, Webb opens everyone with open arms and the community, teachers, and atmosphere are all positive and encouraging. The college counselors and process has been incredible, and every learning experience I have had has been helping me be better prepared for college. Every day, teachers and peers push each other to not only be the best academics and students they can be, but the best people that they can be.

Christian Academy of Knoxville

• Private School
• Knoxville, TN
• PK, K-12
• 58

Parent: My two children have attended CAK the past four years. As parents, we love the sense of community that surrounds CAK. Teachers partner with us and don't treat them like a "statistical number", but as a real person. They learn what works best for each of my kids and have applied almost an individualized method of teaching to ensure they get the concepts that are being taught. I have one child who struggles and the other who finds academics to come easy. The teachers go over and beyond a typical classroom environment -- my child that struggles is able to comfortably ask questions and receive positive reinforcement . My other child is challenged to do even better or more so he does not become bored. If you are looking for a school that educates the ENTIRE child, this is where you want to be!

Farragut Middle School

• Knox County Schools, TN
• 6-8
• 7

Alum: Farragut Middle has a strong faculty that encouraged and fostered my education, the school also allotted me the tools needed to create strong bonds between family and friends. Farragut did not let anything hold me back and I thrived at making new friends and improving my study and learning habits. The school required students to try all sorts of activities, one that stood out to me was music. Because these teachers believed in me and gave me the knowledge I needed, I am now currently a well-rounded senior in high school and am about to make a jump into college to study music education and clarinet performance. None of this would be possible without the teachers and staff at Farragut Middle school who taught me to never give up my dreams. I can never give enough thanks to everyone who not only works for the school but also those who support it in the surrounding community as well. Thank you so very much.

West Valley Middle School

• Knox County Schools, TN
• 6-8
• 1

Niche User: West Valley provided the typical middle school experience for most -- it was awkward, it was prepubescent, it was the time of those gloriously horrendous transitional years. Despite all of this, however, West Valley provided me with an accepting, safe, warm environment in which to grow into a teenager. The academics span a wide range, from remedial classes all the way to high-school-level courses, making it simple and hassle-free for students to learn at their own pace in classes suited to them. The teachers are caring and wish for the students to succeed, and the administrative staff is outstanding. Students are cared for, looked after, encouraged, and loved.

The King's Academy

• Private School
• Seymour, TN
• PK, K-12
• 48

Senior: The King's Academy has been a great place to grow up. As graduation approaches, I have realized that TKA is like a home to me. It will be incredibly hard to leave but I am happy for the memories and times that TKA has blessed me with. The only thing that I would change would be the habit of being hypocritical by our chapel staff, which is adamantly obvious as a student at the school. Other than that, it is a great place to be overall. I wouldn't change my experiences, I feel I have learned quite a bit about life and academics while attending The King's Academy. I would recommend it to parents who think that their child would benefit from a Christian environment.

Grace Christian Academy

• Private School
• Knoxville, TN
• K-12
• 84

Parent: My son graduated from Grace Christian Academy in 2012 as a "lifer" (attended kindergarten through graduation). Leading, Building, and Equipping students isn't just a motto for the school--it is truly how the faculty and administration operate on a daily basis to prepare the students for living lives of excellence. After graduation, my son continued his education in a Christian environment and is now a pastor for a local church. When our daughter was born, there was no question about what school she would attend. We love this school and all of the opportunities it provides in academics, athletics, and arts--all with an incredible spiritual emphasis. GCA is the only school for our family!
