I really enjoy attending Kent place. There's a lot of good things about this school but this review is about what the school should improve on. 1. They never listen to student feedback even if they make it seem like they do. For example, sweatpants were banned this year even though they are essential to some students learning and feeling comfortable at school. This was a rule absolutely no one asked for or wanted, and now I spend 30 minutes trying to find something to wear because sweatpants are the base of my wardrobe. This also goes along with the "no phone rule" while I'm not particularly upset by this, I think it would've been better if the school let us be responsible for how we manage our own phone and screen time in order to learn how to do it in college. This was also a rule that no one asked for. However, it hasn't affected much since I can do everything on my computer that I can do on my phone.

I really enjoyed my time at Kent Place. It has its issues especially with race and class issues but as an institution, it made me who I am today. It made me more confident and gave me what I needed to succeed in college. The teachers are extremely supportive and you feel like a valued member of the community.

Awful, genuinlly the worst school ever. It comes off as a positive environment but it is toxic and dreadful. The only upside is good food.

Kent Place is all about supporting andfostering the intellectual, social and emotional growth of bright and motivated young women. This is what makes it a special place. Our daughter can be herself. She does not need to dress up or put on make up to look like all the other girls. Status is derived f...
