Adams School is a little school that does amazing things for it's students, like the Calvin Project studying right whales that had the 7th and 8th graders presenting new scientific evidence to a scientific assembly in Canada and receiving a standing ovation for their work.

I attended this school from 1974-6 and moved my family home from CA so my 2 boys could go to school here; they excel in this environment and their only regret is that we don't live right in town...

I am a student here at Adams School. I find that it has some incredibly nice teachers with lots of interesting things to reach. I don't see how people could say it is a bad school. There are few students here, but it helps the kids get one-on-one time with the teachers. This is a great place and I'm glad to be here.

The school is too small. You would think that would be an advantage but it's not. There are two grades to one teacher K-1 2-3 4-5 6-7 8 except for the 8 graders. Sometimes the 6-8 are together. 60 students K-8 and the teachers need someone else in the class to help and still have a hard time. I have lived in this area most of my life and it's sad to see how this school keeps going down hill a little more each year. It used to be so much nicer.
