Congratulations, West Elementary!

    North Knox West Elementary has again been named a Four-Star School by the Indiana Department of Education.  To earn this designation, a school must perform in the top twenty-five percent of all the schools in the state in four areas and must be fully accredited.  This is the second time that North Knox West has earned this recognition in the past three years.

    The four areas are attendance rate, ISTEP and math proficiency scores, ISTEP and English/Language Arts proficiency scores, and the percentage of students meeting state academic standards.  This is the first time North Knox West has received this distinction. 

    Mr. Don Osburn, principal, is proud of the teachers, students, and staff at West.  He commented that he believes it is a pretty good school, as are all the other schools in the North Knox School Corporation. 

   "I feel like our teachers and students work hard and do the best they can," Osburn said.  "Even without this recognition, our students are always striving to do their best."
