After spending three whole years here, I believe that people do not give K.O the credit it deserves.The staff are absolutely amazing at this school, while the education program actually works for a lot of the students...Between the parties and the performances, everything about this school is phenomenal, and it makes me sad that I have to leave after this...Teachers are reasonable and kind, the area surrounding your students is completely safe... And trust me, no one will want to leave after spending their time here.The arts program, from TV Production, whom posts the daily news on our website, to Technical Theatre, whom works backstage and in the booth during every show... Every performance that goes on at K.O... Every single one of them are run by students!The theatre program is my personal favorite, because recently we just did Mary Poppins Jr.All three theatre programs gained a superior rating on that! Basically all of our programs are getting superior ratings for our performances!Our students have amazing chances to go to amazing places! Like, for festival, choir and Orchestra students got to go to the Ham Hall in UNLV! Also, a bunch of students in encore programs actually got to go to New York before, and theyre going again next year!I definitely recommend this school for any newcomers, because being at K.O is an amazing experience! I swear, I cried so much during the past week, I dont want to leave!

I like this school... its pretty decent it is very good for the kids who really care about their education. I no longer go to this school but when I was there I was really good at math compared to how I am now at my current school. They are very strict but also very reasonable. I highly recommend this school especially if your child likes the school of the arts part of it, this school will help you improve so much. I am so sad that I had to leave...

Diamond in the rough!!! Thanks to all the C.C.S.D. hard workers!!!!!

I had experience here. I started 6th grade here and now going to 7th I really recommend this school. Just a few things do your work and follow the rules that way everything is easy. This school is amazing for future students who want to come here. The food is amazing the teachers and staff are wonderful. The people who work here believe in you to be a successful person in life. Overall the school is great and wonderful I really recommend it.

I like the school because I always wanted to go and it has a lot of opportunities and it has a magnet program that I would love to go to but unfortunately I need a zone variance which is uneasy to get so ko if you are seeing this I would love to go to your amazing school as an A-B honorable student It would make my middle school years amazing thank you!!!

Tbh at first I got teased. The teachers are alright. Really recommend P.E. Other then that ok school.

Great school. Awesome magnet program. The teachers are top notch. K O Knudson has a lot to offer the students. My daughter loves going to KO. #KOPRIDE

My daughter goes to school here. If I have to go in for any reason almost everyone is very nice/helpful. Especially the councilors and the nurse staff. Front desk can use a little help. Because if shes busy talking to someone almost no one else in the office will see if they can help the next person. So you end up waiting. I dont mind waiting so much, but when there are like 6 other people in the office and they can see your waiting to be helped and they just sit there and ignore you, its a bit frustrating. The teachers so far have been pretty good. They try to keep you updated on how your child is doing, what assignments they may be missing etc.. Overall I think its a pretty good school

This school is the best! There are no bullys and they have really good programs. In all my life have a thought of a school being the nicest place to be in. They are no fights andeverybody is treated nicely. The staff are really kind and care about you.It has good programs for learning and helps you go forward your dreams.☁️🌈 # KOISTHEBEST❤️❤️📗

This school is extremely underrated and the staff do not get the justice they deserve for their outstanding work everyday.

I love this school and the programs it has to offer like Mariachi, dance, art, band, tv production and many more! I will say the bathrooms are really horrible always flooding, the stalls always are messy, and two broken sinks and is super messy so if you go to KO you know what Im talking about. And the bullying is still a problem but it has gotten better. I am a 7th grade student a KO and I am in the Mariachi program and its FREAKING FANTASTIC!!! Its the best mariachi ever and we go Texas, Disneyland or Disney World, and San Diego too and it is soooooooooooo much fun. So if you are thinking about going to KO or know someone who is thinking about going to KO i highly reccomend it!

My grandaughter went to this school and its lovely she love the dance

The school that disillusioned me and poisoned the rest of my public school experience!A thorough and complete letdown. I attended for one year from 2005-6 after attending Gilbert Elementary (a fellow magnet school and an absolutely incredible place. Gilbert was [and likely remains] the gold standard for public schools in Vegas.) The entire staff was convinced the school would be gang-run by 2008 - kids from juvenile hall were apparently bused into the school regularly. My English teacher advised me to get out while I still could, like I had a chance to escape a cult or something.The disciplinary staff were comically inept: I had my wallet stolen three times with no action even attempted on my behalf, but was suspended for one week for purposely annoying a kid by burping into his ear during an assembly. While I awaited my appointment in the counselors office, a pregnant girl was viciously bullied by an older student directly in front of the receptionist - absolutely nothing happened. Not even a verbal warning. Nothing at all. The girl cried.I was bullied constantly during my time at the school and the only time anyone took any disciplinary action was when I finally decided to fight back. I was heavily reprimanded for ineffectually flailing a shopping bag with my gym clothes in it at a kid whod been mocking me for months. The staff were very distanced from the students.There was always a surprisingly large amount of free food in the front office explicitly for the faculty - students were forbidden to even look at it too hard - and it mostly went uneaten. Keep in mind, the school is in a rough part of town. There were undoubtedly many kids who would gladly have eaten that food because they didnt get enough at home. There was absolutely no excuse for the beyond subpar educational experience I had at this school.Judging by the more recent reviews, it seems the school has turned their act around quite a bit. I deeply hope this is true, it would be absolutely wonderful to hear. But I will never forgive this school for being the major contributor to my being totally disillusioned with public education as a whole until I graduated high school. I was an honor roll, straight-A student before I went here and after, I was lucky if I managed to scrape past with a B average. Absolutely inexcusable. I hope for the sake of everyone who comes through this school in the future that the administration and policies were completely gutted and replaced with something that actually works.

Today I went to the open house and I thought all of the programs were amazing. I was in awestruck from the ballet folktaire (I think that’s what it’s called) and I went into the choir room and the songs I heard from the students were awesome! I’m in 5th grade and I would love to get into K.O because it gives me an opportunity to do what I love, dancing and theatre, possibly musical theatre. What I love about having performing arts and fine arts and that type of stuff in a school is really fabulous because studies show if you have a thing to do with music, the left side of your brain will connect the music part of the world to your education. At school I believe I know a little or a lot more about music and that type of stuff because I’m interested in that stuff. I’ve always performed/singed in front of my family and I have performed as Babette in Beauty and the Beast play at my school (last year). It was awesome! I know I’m getting a little off track of why I think this school is awesome but just so you know, IT IS AMAZING😂😊

Ive wanted to go to this school. I here it is great! My mom has been trying to get me in, but she cant do that without my report card. Ive still earned staight As, so as an award for being a straight A student all year long, I earned the golden presidential award signed by Mr. Obama! I hope I get in.Wish me luck! ×○×○ K O Knudson Middle School ×○×○

This school is overall great! But I have to some of the teachers can tend to talk too much and other teachers act like we know everything. The electives on the other hand are really fun. At the school we have Choir,Dance,Art,Band,Mariachi,Intro to Drama,and etc. Also P.E is very fun. If you get Coach King, she is very fun. Also if you get Peck,Bueler, or Placeres, they are very strict, trick is just don’t talk too much.

Great teachers!!! great theatre teachers

This school is a good school. As a 7th grader I can say that the programs are great especially the electives.

I love ko and i recommend it to people who like the performing arts. the electives are rlly fun but some teachers are rude. mr byrd blames everyone for why the class is behind or points out every mistake u make and makes u feel bad about it. but some teachers are rlly nice like ms ratigan and mr gaskill.

I go to school here they help you a lot and they are supportive on anything, good education, many programs or electives, and many awards from their programs

(Sorry for spelling in this story )Ok its 14 more days till school and ive been here for 1 year and this school is cofusing if you finna go the prepar for staring when you walk in secend i was sooo confused when lunch came around 1 and 2 lunch nun like elementry i was supposed to go to 2 lunch and i went to 1 lunch so i missed a class and then i went to the other class and i was so confused and then after 2 lunch i went to my class and then i got called to the office and this mean lady ( ms gomes) yelled at me like she was my mother i didnt under stand a word she was saying and she realy hurted my feeling oh yae this school do have nun and i was sent back to my class and that runin my hole day and that was only my 2 day of middle school=( thered all the other reveiws was right about the fights one olmost happened in frount of my and some be out side the school and the deans be following to sometime becuase someone allways tell them and yea thats all =) dk says hi

I love and miss this school. I had the best experience of all school years! The environment is the best. I learned easily cause my teachers gave me the attention needed to understand the material given.

No working sinks in bathrooms, teachers are so impatient, get hairs in my lunch, way to much reading plus I am tired of this why do we have homework if we already come to school its not fair we have to go home and keep doing work

As a professional drummer from Seattle, I have drum students from this school. It is very evident they love their teachers and the school.

Thair food are good

This school is amazing it has good staff members and teachers it also has a magnet program where you can do theater,dance,band,etc.... In conclusion this is a really good middle school and I would recommend your middle schoolers here.

This is the best middle school ever. I have learned so much and the teachers are so nice. This is a great school.

I’m still a student at this school 2018-2019 and there are some things i want to point out they send you to the deans office for nothing I especially dislike orchestra and also the deans don’t do anything there is a fight everyday at this school without them noticing and the bullying gets worse I wanted for my friend to have the best 6th grade year and guess what on the first weeks she got bullied and they ended up just suspending the person who did that to her aren’t you supposed to EXPELL THEM. I wouldn’t recommend this school the dress code policy is dumb and ridiculous although it was the parents fault for voting on school attire although I will point out great teacher I’ve had ms springer (when she taught orchestra at this school) Ms terry my wonderful 7th grade English teacher and ms Odom my favorite so far 8th grade teacher honestly I know Fremont ain’t a good school but I should’ve have gone there instead of here

I love this school and the magnet program😍

The school is fine though some of the teachers are mean and dont do there work. For instance a 8th grade English teacher never does her grades she either fails or gives her kids an A. She also teaches her kids nothing. Almost all of my 6th grade teacher got fired or left. I have gotten yelled at because I was socializing with my friend at lunch by the female dean saying we needed to eat and stop talking to each other when we had finished 90% of our lunch. I love this school dont get me wrong but some of the teachers and staff are mean and stupid.

Great school. I have many friends her who are very nice, the environment is great and safe, amazing after school clubs and responsible, kind teachers, if youre thinking of a middle school for your child to go to, this is the one

Undertale is a great game 10/10 I really enjoyed the game and all of the characters my favorite character is flowey if you haven’t played Undertale I would recommend it 100% also the soundtracks are great the most Best soundtrack is “Megalovania” my favorite is “ghost fight”

This school is ok the work is very hard the rules are strict like you can only be tardy 3 times then deans detention I can’t alway control when I get here. If you get ms.odom (8th) as a teacher I’m sorry for u. She spends half the time talking then says she gave u time. Plus she makes th work way to difficult for simple work bad teacher

I went there my 6th grade year and I couldnt have asked for a better first experience in middle school. I cried when I left. I loved all there programs especially there art program. Teachers were nice, but the only thing I didnt like were the uniforms but at least I didnt have to rush and look for clothes in the morning.

These two years Ive been in ko really changed my life, when i first came to this school I didnt feel comfortable at all cause i didnt know anybody but i met some amazing people I couldnt wish for, my favorite part about ko is the performing arts programs, it really helps us become better at what we love doing, as a band student it made me feel better about school, music really speaks to me and i cant imagine my life without it, band even felt like a family.Some teachers can make us feel stressful from the amount of work and time they give us but if you guys have a passion for performing arts, this is the school for you, just stick with the right people and youll enjoy ko.

I need my iphone back thx

My friend goes there she said its pretty nice

The school has a good magnet program however some of the students are pretty rude (i should know i am a student)

I use to go to K.O middle school and let me tell you its not the BEST school ever but its not the worst ethiertin fact I really recommend it to you the 6th grade teachers there are so helpful and nice plus they really tech you in ways you wont forgot!

People are saying theres a lot of fights here, but there really isnt. This school year we have only had like 3 fights, we have iPads which I think is a great way to help us students, the only problem I do have is the school uniform, I think there shouldnt be one because we should be able to express ourselves, it is a creative arts school...right?

This schools lit jus mind your own buisness and be nice as kids will be nice to you so easy to make friends

This school is amazing. For those who are saying there are fights and such they barely happen and if they do it’s not at school. I have not experienced being bullied and 99% of my friends have not either. Sometimes students may abuse their use of iPads but what do you expect giving iPads to us middle schoolers? We get bored easily and need something to do so we of course just go ahead and play games on it. In the school currently my two favorite teachers are Mr Keohan and Ms Terry. They’re amazing. Ms Terry is a 7th grade English teacher and she helped one of my friends come out of her shell, now that friend is basically talking to everyone. Mr Keohan is an 8th grade physical science teacher who if you do your work will give you free time and some snacks. Once you do the work in his class you can basically get out a speaker and blast music in class. KO is really preparing me for high school. Some of my friends who don’t go to KO complain about how school starts too early in the morning but in here we’re used to it. We’re used to the way how some schools may run on a “A” “B” bell schedule due to on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s we have those. If your child wants to go here I recommend that they do so and try to join some clubs too.

I like this school, they have iPads and the teachers are very nice. But the uniforms are ridiculous and the school is too strict for it. One thing about this school that I HATE, they gave me detention for absolutely no reason they said I was at a tardy lockout which is if youre not at class after the bell rings and you have to go to the cafeteria or the deans office and get a pass. Anyway the said that I was in a tardy lockout, but I wasnt, I was at my class when the bell rang and one more thing. I dont know how they would assume that I was tardy for class if I didnt go to the cafeteria or the deans office. They just blamed me for something that I didnt do.

I love this place I went here in 6th grade and it was the best year I was looking forward to 7th grade but my mom moved me schools the current school Im in sucks I honestly wish I could come back to k.o. But so far K.o is a great place.

This school is good they do have uniforms and ipads though and most teachers teach good also the students are nice and there isint even that much frights theres only been 2 this yes that i know about but overall this school is not that bad

This school is good but there is one teacher he is so rude and his name is Mr. Byrd he is so rude . One of the meanest teacher . I was going to drop off my instrument then he said Im not suppose to be in here.

Ive been at this school for 3 years, and my experience has been more than amazing! I came into K.O. as a shy and socially awkward kid and I met the best people who became my best friends and completely turned a new leaf for me. The teachers have been very helpful, and very few have really made me angry. My older sisters and brother all went to this school, and they absolutely loved it just as much as I do, and got accepted to LVA because of the knowledge they gained from going to K.O.I have to mention my two favorite teachers, Ms. Phillips and Mrs. Prock because they, in my 7th grade year, gave me the best experiences ever! Mrs. Prock taught me so many things about English that I never got the opportunity to learn in 6th grade, and Ms. Phillips helped me explore my dancing boundaries.Yes, there is SSA, but you can still wear hoodies, sweatshirts, jeans, Adidas, Nikes, really anything that doesnt have a pattern or weird colors with a collared shirt in school colors. I would 100% recommend this school to anyone interested because I seriously doubt you will regret it.

I may be attending this school next year(2019-2020) and i am more than exited, as a exel student i hope it challanges me and makes me feel welcome.

Okay i use to go to k.o ima tell yall its not the best school but its good there some friendly people there some teachers that are are mean etc etc etc but all yall gotta do is just do your work and stay away from the drama and just have fun

It’s a great school but they do have a lot Of problems there

The staff are really nice, and helpful 😍

Amazing mural

I really wish I would have applied for a better school. I am currently in 8th grade and have been here for 3 years. So far, this is my best year, and its not the best it could be. Im sorry but I need to call out some of my teachers. Mr. Keohan (my science teacher) is very rude to his students, especially if they are black or mexican. Mrs. Chin (Ms. Borden) does not teach well at all. Ive had her for 2 years and to be honest, I cheated on all of the math test because I didnt learn anything with her. The female dean is too over powering and tries to point out every single thing wrong with you. She doesnt like gays, she doesnt like most races and she will send you to the deans office for literally anything. The only good teachers in my opinion are Mr. Passer LeMaster (world geo) and Mr. Jackson (band)

Dont join computer design rudest teacher gets mad for anything

They excepted me for this school Im so happy😀😃😄😊👍

All good except Ms.whitmore shes mean

I HATE THIS SCHOOL SO MUCH MOST OF THE TEACHERS HERE MAKE FUN OF YOU AND GIVE NO HELP AND THE DEANS OFFICE MAKES U GO IN FOR NO REASON MS.N ICOLES IS THE WORST ASSISTANT PRINCIPLE EVER AND MS.GOMEZ SENDS PEOPLE TO THE OFFICE FOR NO REASON AND HAS A NEW WEAVE EVERY DAY, I GOT IN TROUBLE FOR WALKING HOME AT 8:00AND IT WAS NOT THAT FAR AND I HAD MY PARENTS PERMISSION AND THEY SAID THAT I WAS ROLLING MY EYES LIKE A SNAKE AND THAT IS TECHNICALLY BULLYING NAME CALLING, THEY SAID THAT I WAS GOING TO GET SUSPENDED ON A FRIDAY AFTER SCHOOL I HATE THIS SCHOOL IM A GOOD STUDENT BUT ONCE U GET IN TROUBLE ALL IT TAKES IS ONE MISTAKE AND THEY WILL BE ON YOUR ASS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR BELIEVE ME SOME ADVICE TO PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO BE MISERABLE WITH UNIFORMS GO AHEAD BUT I WISH I WENT TO FREMONT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A BAD EDUCATION THEY HAVE A POOL AND NO UNIFORMS NEVER EVER EVER GO TO KO KNUDSON EVER THERES FIGHTS EVERYDAY AND PEOPLE COMMIT SUICIDE THERE IS VANDALISM HERE BROKEN GLASS DOORS AND SPRAY PAINTED WALLS, I CANT WAIT TO GO TO VALLEY NEXT YEAR P.S. MS.ODOM IS THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!!!

Hate this school, the female 8th grade algebra teacher called me retarded, and i got pulled in for a tardy lock out for zero period and it was 6:59, bunch of shady crap going on in this school. also the dance program SUCKS do NOT GO HERE FOR DANCE!!!!!!!! i dont know if i can express that enough!!!!!!! but i made some really good friends who all have the same opinions as me :)

This school is fine with its learning but its students are bullied and dont feel safe

Them gang wars wer crakin in my times saludos to mcd

I didnt even get my mf tots.

Its an iPad school And uniform awesome perfecto

This is a terrible school. My sister went to this school and there are so many bad influences there. My other sister was also going to register there for the magnet program and the office messed up her registration and wouldnt give her a spot even though it was their mistake?

They give out ipads and the orchestra teacher is very nince

Love this school, looking forward to 7th grade😁

Its ok but it takes a long time were i live and they use emac for some reason

Love it haveing a great time here

I applied but i dont know when i will get the message if i qualified or not and another question will the bus pick you up from home?

The people here are extremely rude

They are so nice

This sould like a great and fun school

Me and my friends were walk waiting for are bus and so kid was climbing a tree and the dean scream at us for climbing a tree and we didnt even do

Not a great school, when it comes to rating schools, this is at the bottom of the charts. Too many fights.

Its nice place to learn at
