Read what parents are saying about Kent Center SchoolHmmm, well, if you ignore the fact the school has had 3 principals in the last 5 years, and that the current principal is inept at timely communication with staff and parents (she pawns most of that stuff off to her secretary, which is a huge mistake) and afraid to let go of the 'older' teachers who have long ago lost their passion and heart for teaching, and you continue to ignore the fact that the only place to go for these children once they graduate from this K-8 elementary school is to a high school that is very poorly run and filled with administrative bickering back and forth with the district's Superintendent, then perhaps you can say Kent Center School is good enough until you figure out how and when and which other school district you should place your child instead. Kudos to the teachers who still give everything they've got, and this school definitely has a handful of them. But to those of you who are just biding your time until retirement, shame on you.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere is something about Kent that remains in people's minds. The academics are strong and are taken very seriously, the athletics program is top-notch among prep schools, and resources have gone into the arts including beautiful new spaces for music and art. With that said, Kent has a lot of issues below the surface. Administration has been in power for a very long time (Head 33 yrs, Dean of Students 30, Assistant Headmaster 33 yrs) and are out of touch. School has had a lingering hazing and drug problem that has only been addressed when the school might be sued. While academics are strong, they are not as strong as the school would like to think, Kent has a culture of hard work to it, and the majority of students work hard and go on to do well after Kent. Alums have great love of Kent as well. But there are a lot of disciplinary matters and problems that have been hidden for admissions reasons.Teacher Review9y ago - South Kent School
