Kentlake is one of those places where you stick with your group of people all four years. There isn't a whole lot of diversity on campus, and not a lot of people are motivated to be a part of clubs or music activities, even though these things are really good programs here. I had good teachers here, but the students during my four years were not very respectful towards them, which was sad. Admin never really seemed to know what was going on, but everyone blames the district for lack of communications. I know there are lots of good sports at Kentlake, but not good enough to really advance anywhere. Overall, I would say my time spent at Kentlake was pretty average. Nothing terrible ever happened, but it wasn't an outstanding experience.
Attending Kentlake throughout my 4 years was...not too bad. Honestly i've seen some growth, kentlake which was predominantly Caucasian is seeing a lot more people of different origins and ethnicity's coming in. That being said, I do feel like most teachers treated every race equally, you either did the work they gave or you didn't and it showed, i do feel that a lot of teachers would be much more beneficial for the students if they could teach in multiple learning styles. The sports are only big in football and basketball really, but we do give lots of recognition towards the other sports like soccer and tennis as well as giving both genders of the sports a fair share in the spotlight. Kentlake' s food was in my opinion the best, i would say we could work harder on college readiness even though we go through our "highschool and beyond" i still found myself doing a lot of my own research because teachers lacked in explaining pathways and options thoroughly. Overall i don't hate KL.
Kentlake High School supplied me with some of my favorite years and memories. From their staff, to their community environment, I was able to thrive academically and socially. Not only was I able to take advanced placement and honors class, I was also given the opportunity to take college classes within my high school atmosphere. With all these resources around to challenge me, I took advantage of them and it was completely worth it. My overall experience with Kentlake High School was amazing, and I will never forget the knowledge and memories that I gained within the building.
