About Kent School District
Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.
The Kent School District has a deep and rich history. What started as a school district in a largely agricultural community is now the fourth-largest district in Washington State with nearly 28,000 students. One of the nation’s largest industrial centers is in our service area, and KSD is the second-largest employer in the community, after Boeing, with more than 3,000 people on the payroll. Kent School District is also the most diverse district in the state according to the 2010 census. More than 130 languages are spoken by our students and their families – from Spanish to African dialects. Which gives our kids a tremendous opportunity to be educated in tomorrow’s world today! Our mission is to successfully prepare all students for their future.
