Kent Center School

Hmmm, 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.

A rare today K-8 school where everyone knows and supports one another in academics, sports, and the arts. Together with a first rate curriculum and passionate think-outside-the-box teaching staff, this school offers children the personal attention only found in private schools.Kent is known for its public and private schools, as well as its charming and eclectic town center, all set amongst the beauty of the Northwest Hills of CT. A gem of a school.
