Quantitatively, 75% of Knox students were in the top quarter of their [[high school]] class, and 43% graduated in the top tenth.  The middle of 50 percent of the [[ACT]] Composite score is 26-31; for the [[SAT]] (out of 1600), 1150-1410.  Knox does not require the ACT or SAT anymore.  This is because we are innovative.  Remember this.  We made [[Abraham Lincoln]], too, as far as we're concerned.

These statistics, while good, aren't quite as impressive as some of the more famous schools – indeed, while many in [[Illinois]] or [[Missouri]] have heard of Knox, if you utter the name in [[California]] [http://knox.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2202235148 then people will think you're going to school in Tennessee].  You will soon learn, if you have not already, that the official name of Knox outside of the Midwest is "Knox College, a small liberal arts school in western Illinois (not near Chicago)."  A recent addition to this somewhat cumbersome name is 'where Stephen Colbert got his DFA'.

On the whole, the basic demographic at Knox is good students, with moderate achievements, generally with either a high personal concern either for community or a pressing practical concern for money.  A larger than usual percentage are students whose work in high school was perhaps tempered by other concerns, usually social but sometimes associated with being batshit crazy.  A fair number of intelligent underachievers add to the mix as well. To be fair, Knox, while selective, is not ''that'' selective.
