George T. Daniel Elementary School

Kent sits in the heart of the Puget Sound region, a working-class community that's grown into one of the most culturally diverse cities in Washington — and George T. Daniel Elementary reflects that richness, serving a neighborhood where families from all walks of life are putting down roots. The school's scores place it in the lower tier statewide, so families who prioritize academics may want to look closely at supplemental support options, but those who value a tight-knit, multicultural community will find a school that mirrors the real fabric of Kent. For families already living in the 98030 zip code and looking for a school that feels connected to their everyday neighborhood, Daniel is worth getting to know.
