Adaline E. Kent Middle

Tucked into the rolling hills of Kentfield in Marin County, Kent Middle is the kind of school that benefits from a tight-knit, well-resourced community where families genuinely invest in education. Serving grades 5–8, it consistently ranks among the top middle schools in California, with particularly strong English scores that reflect a real emphasis on critical thinking and communication. Kentfield itself is a quiet, affluent enclave with easy access to outdoor spaces and the broader amenities of Marin — a great fit for families who want a rigorous academic environment without the intensity of a big-city school district.
