Hello Avi,
79 is a good enough score when talking about KNNs. Expecting a higher score would be unrealistic. KNN is mostly used as a threshold for ML models, as one can decipher from the way it works, it’s a very primitive and a simple algorithm mostly based on intuition. Higher level models like SVMs and Random Forests can be used to obtain a much better accuracy.

I hope this resolves your doubt.
