I liked a lot about Kentridge. There are some really great teachers there that teach very well. There are many students and there is a lot of diversity amongst the students and staff. I feel Kentridge has slightly higher standards than other high schools that I have gone to. Kentridge is the top high school in the district and amongst the top in Washington state. There is about a 90% graduation rate which is why I decided to go to Kentridge instead of another high school in my area. Between Kentridge and other schools I attended, Kentridge had the least violence occur amongst students!
My experience at Kentridge High School was great! I attended this school since my freshmen year, and I am now graduated with my diploma. The teachers are great, a few changed my life for the better. I made some lifelong friends at this school, and overall my High school experience was great. Lots of sports and clubs for everyone, there is something for everyone. School spirit was great and fun, this school includes all grades and makes sure everyone is comfortable and feels safe.
Overall, my school does a pretty good job of creating an inclusive environment where students can thrive in academics, sports, and extracurricular activities as well as feel comfortable in being their true selves at school. One of the main things I love about Kentridge is its diversity. Looking back these past three years, I have had many opportunities to pursue a variety of activities such as play volleyball, take a variety of AP classes, and sign up for different clubs. I was also able to help my community by participating in my school’s National Honors Society where we volunteered and did outreach. Students of all different backgrounds could participate in these as well. One of my critiques, however, is that our school has never been renovated so it looks exactly the same as when it was first built and therefore the buildings are extremely outdated and in poor shape structurally. The Kent School District was millions of dollars in debt which created a delay in any renovations.
