Okay imagine this: a high school setting. The hallways of the high school are bleak: one cannot tell the difference between a math classroom or an English classroom - both are stale, colorless, and as flavorful as a jail cell. The school only seems to care for their athletes, while other departments are left in the dirt. A majority of the students are Caucasian, with maybe a few POC in a grade. The only flag shown in the whole school is the American one. Teachers care only about grades and their own reputations.
This is not East Kentwood.
When you step into the halls of East Kentwood, you are immediately greeted with hundreds of flags from all over the world. There are students from . Heck, my class of around 600 had students from 37 countries, with at least 20 different countries spoken. Teachers actually care for the needs of their students and provide options after high school. Every department has room to shine, and the environment is inclusive and supportive! Great experience!

My review of East Kentwood high school is that it is very diverse. There is 50+ countries that are represented at EK and we are the second most diverse school in Michigan, and number 10 overall in the country. Also the teachers at East Kentwood are amazing! they really try there best to make sure that students don't fall behind and if they do, they do an awesome job of seeing how they can be of help. Also the sports and extra curricular activities that we have to offer there at EK is endless. From Esports, to Robotics, too your standard sports we have a very wide verity to offer. The only main problem I have with EK is the food. The food isn't very good at all and people all around the school tend to give it a very poor judgement of the food.
Having graduated from East Kentwood 5 years ago, I can say that I wouldn't have had it any other way! My experience there was so rich and diverse from the kinds of people and different cultures, to all of the fine arts and science classes offered. I got to raise and breed reptiles for two years in my favorite science class, as well as play violin in two of four orchestras that the school had to offer! I wish everyone could have the kind of high school experience that I did and I will be forever grateful that I got to attend a school that had funding for the arts as well as sports. The large international exchange program that my school had, paired with all of the immigrants from around the world that attended, gave us so many wonderful people to meet and learn from as well! The pride that I have in being a forever falcon means the world to me. Thanks for reading!
