School Buildings at KCS

The District operates seven schools: five elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. In addition, the District has an annex building, an administration building and a bus garage. Following is a list of the educational facilities and a summary of a few of the programs and services being provided by the staff in those locations.

The Community

Kent is the largest city in Portage County. Kent State University, the city’s largest employer, is located here. Because Kent is only11 miles east of Akron and 35 miles southeast of Cleveland, many residents commute to these cities. The Kent City School District is made up of Franklin Township, the villages of Brady Lake and Sugar Bush Knolls and most of the city of Kent. According to the 2000 census, slightly less than 28,000 people reside in Kent, and over 5,000 more live in the villages and township making up a school district population of 34,943.

Kent’s Teaching Staff

Elementary Schools

Current total elementary enrollment is 1,616 students. The five elementary schools offer a diverse curriculum of reading, mathematics, English, spelling, handwriting, composition, computers, social studies, science, health, art, physical education and music. Special programs include visits from children’s authors, distance learning, Right to Read Week, multicultural art and music programs, and many other activities.

Stanton Middle School

Stanton Middle School first opened its doors to students in the fall of 1999. The middle school serves all sixth, seventh, and eight graders. The facility serves 819 students this year.

Students are taught in interdisciplinary teams. A student spends the majority of his or her day in a pod, and leaves for specials such as art, music, physical education, and lunch. Technology is emphasized and was incorporated into the construction of the middle school. Several computer labs are located in the building, as well as additional technology opportunities available through the media center. Each classroom is equipped with voice, video, and data capabilities.

Roosevelt High School

The District’s one high school currently serves 1,378 ninth through twelfth grade students. Sixty-eight percent of the faculty members hold at least a Master’s degree or beyond.

The high school philosophy states that the primary task of the school is to prepare their students to take their place in an extremely complex society where high levels of knowledge, related work skills, and understanding of a changing world are required. The faculty and staff encourage and guide students through a critical period of intellectual, emotional, physical, and social development.

Students can choose from among more than 200 classes, including an extensive Career Technical curriculum, electives in art, speech, drama, journalism, music, foreign language, math, English, science, and social studies. Students can enroll in college courses through Kent State and Akron Universities or participate in an independent study program in which the student works with an advisor on a subject of personal interest.

High school interscholastic sports offered are: cross country, field hockey, football, golf, soccer, tennis, volleyball, basketball, ice hockey, swimming and diving, wrestling, baseball, softball, lacrosse, track and cheerleading.
