GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I think the best part of being in my high school was the experience I had with my choir teacher. The music program was wonderful, even if it was just a high school ensemble. However, I don't think I lived my high school experience to its fullest because I was overwhelmed by the social pressure of it. I think I might have enjoyed it more if I had participated in more activities. However, I am overall quite grateful I graduated, and thankful to the few teachers I had that it made it worth being there. I am also seeing the school slowly being restaffed with teachers and admin that are making the school a better place than it was before.

Some music programs had to be cut due to the orchestra teacher retiring and the district being too lazy or broke to hire a new one.

My experience at Kentridge High school has been very good. The teachers I had for the past 2 years have been excellent. Also, the school makes sure we are ready for college.

There are plenty of options regarding AP that you can take. The biggest issue within the school is the bullying policy along with the drug use. The bullying is mostly verbal which is missed by most teachers. The drug use is apparent when you go to the bathrooms but if you know when to go and which b...

Look at the OSPI Report Card. If you want your student to go to school to learn academics or graduate, KR is the place to be.

Hi, I am currently a junior at KR and I have to say it is a very good school. This school has challenging classes, activities, and it also offers very fun opportunities for the students to find friends. There might be some drug problems but it is very minor (at least to me because I was not involved...
