Welcome to KNE!
Knob Noster Elementary proudly serves 425 students in kindergarten through fifth grade from Knob Noster and Whiteman Air Force Base. All grades have four sections, except 5th grade who only has three sections. All classes have an average teacher-student ratio of 1:18. Our highly qualified and experienced instructional staff offer an engaging curriculum aligned to the Missouri Learning Standards.
KNE is a 1:1 device school which provides our students with access to technology and online resources for research and educational purposes during the school year. Students in grades 1 through 5 will each be issued a Lenovo laptop while kindergarten students will be provided with an I-pad.
In 2018, KNE became a Leader in Me School which is “an evidence-based, comprehensive-school improvement model—developed in partnership with educators—that empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century”. (Leaderinme.org) Our school is able to participate in this program through a five year grant from the Department of Defense Education Activities.
