I recently graduated from Adda Clevenger and it was the most wonderful school I could have asked to go to. I would like to address some of the past reviews. The kids don't like Adda because the academics are weak, I'm currently taking all honors and getting decent grades. Also who cares how much technology they have, studies have shown it damages your brain. Adda Clevenger is such an incredible school that I would cried for more than I care to say. At Adda you will also get into the high school that you want, whether it is the best school in the city or not. My high school was my top choice. To add to that my sibling, who also went to Adda, is now going to one of the best colleges in the country. Also Adda may not have the biggest influence on sports, but that is because it's a performing arts school. Honestly if you send your kid to a performing arts school do you really expect them to be playing soccer every day. For the record in PE we do sports, and for the past three years I'd gone there I had PE every day; plus dance. The school has also been said to "not foster creativity." That is completely off. There are entire classes dedicated to creativity. Adda is an amazing school.

I am a student at Adda Clevenger and have been for 8 years now. It is absolutely amazing and I cannot express how grateful I am for everything that I have learned and experienced. Even with the "long" school day I find myself coming in early and staying late whenever I can. The atmosphere is the most supportive and fun one I've ever been in and the teachers are absolutely incredible. I love Adda, and strongly encourage any parent looking for a school to send their child(ren) to, to consider it.

My son attended Adda Clevenger for a brief period. Three years later we still talk about the positive impression his time there made on him. This school is a rare place. Magical.

Let me get this straight , the person who posted before me has no idea what their talking about. I am a student at Adda clevenger, and for nearly 6 years i have thrived with amazing math, english, drama, science , speech.... classes the list goes on and on. For one Adda gives kids a very structured system with small classes (witch most kids prefer) and customized classes so your child can learn were he/she feels comfortable. About homework lower grades do not recieve little to no homework because of the long hours were as older grades slowly increase homework so you don't get overwhelmed. The whole Adda experience is really fun for kids new expirences will excite them and they will never get bored. I love Adda and everyone in it and wouldn't change for anything
