Summary

Kentridge High School is a large, comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 for 2,186 students in the Kent School District, consistently ranking as a top-tier 4-star school in the state's 80th percentile.

The school stands out for its strong and steady academic performance, particularly in English, math, and science, where its proficiency rates are significantly higher than both the district and state averages. This excellence is even more notable when compared to other local high schools; for example, Kentridge High School outperforms nearby Kent-Meridian High School by over 30 points in several subjects and surpasses cross-district Renton Senior High School by over 25 points. The school has shown a remarkable, sustained improvement over the past decade, rising from a 1-star to a consistent 4-star rating, and it maintains a graduation rate above the state average.

While Kentridge High School delivers these strong results efficiently with lower per-student spending than some peers, families should note a recent increase in the dropout rate. The school's success is especially impressive given that it operates within a district that is average overall, suggesting effective school-level programs are key drivers of its high achievement compared to alternatives like Kent Virtual Academy.
