New School Boundaries Coming in Fall 2021
More than twelve years have passed since our last boundary change in 2008. Over that period, enrollments have increased and decreased at various schools across our district, student and community demographics have changed, and various educational programs and delivery methods have progressed.
Given these changes, the Kent School Board commissioned MGT Consulting Group to evaluate all school attendance boundaries in our district. View the current school boundaries map (may not be accurate for all addresses).
