I transfered to AC in middle school from a public school. Mrs. Harrison wold constantly refer to public schools as "government schools" and would make me feel really horrible about being a lot different than the children she had molded. The 2 years I spent there were torture. The children were always innapropriate with each other and the staff definitely knew about it. We spent more time in some classes talking about our teachers home problems than actually learning. Thank god one of those teachers drifting through had some empathy and spent time tutoring and mentoring me. She was the only good thing about my experience there (thank you Ms. McCabe). DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL!

I attended Adda Clevenger from preschool to 3rd grade. I was one of the first 10 students to start the school back in 1980.
I absolutely loved this school! I have such fond memories of going here, when Mrs. Harrison was still teaching out of her house in the Sunset. I loved the day trips, going to Santa Cruz or Golden Gate Park. I loved the performances (my parents still have some of those on video tape! yikes!), loved being in the Nutcracker, loved being in that Pat Benetar video! (Man, I was so cool at 7 years old, and I didn't even know it!) I loved the friends I made there. I loved summer school and ballet and gymnastics and music and art...

I feel that this school gave me the foundation I truly needed to become a pretty smart and decent human being. I just hope that when I have kids one day, they too, will be able to go here. Actually, I just hope that I will be able to afford the ridiculous tuition! :D
