I’m so glad to have my child at Adams! All the kids really seem to look out for each other and the parents and teachers I’ve encountered are supportive and encouraging. I love the Social Emotional learning focus and family focused events at the school.

Because it is such a small school, especially in middle school everybody knows everyone because the in only 1 class per grade and the biggest class in middle school in 7th grade (20 people). That being said, if you don't like one person in your class you don't have them for just Math or something, no you see them all day every day. Most of the teachers are great (in middle school at least) I don't think that one person dislikes the Social Studies/Drama teacher or the ELA teacher and her Intern. The only people I have a problem with are the Math teacher and the Librarian, now I know because I put myself as a current student you will think I'm dramatic but NO! I'm not kidding when I say not one person out of all of middle school likes the math teacher and the Librarian, I mean it. But other than that, I have no complaints really about the school.

My son attended this school until halfway through his junior year when he dropped out and got his GED at Shoreline CC and is now attending college courses there. I can't help but point out some negative things regarding this school. He was kicked out of one of their programs his freshmen year for not having "good enough" grades across his classes, the grade in question was a C in algebra, he had Bs and one A in all other classes. We also came from a middle school in West Seattle, so he did not have many friends to start here and experienced bullying from a group of kids in his home room class that were a part of the football team, and the faculty failed to do anything about it his freshmen year. His second year he also experienced bullying from kids on one of the Soccer teams when he made one of the teams throughout the season. We also had a teacher his second year tell my son he would be a "drop out" and "to just quite school." Halfway through his third year his father passed away and that was the last straw, as nothing was done about the bullying or teacher, we decided it would be best he just get his GED and start college early. I would not recommend this school to anyone as we have had nothing but pour experiences all around.

Do not send your child to this school. I've only been going here for a year, and my older sibling has been going here for three. This school has no anti-bullying protocol, I've been the F-slur by many homophobic students. The best advice the school can give, is "Ignore them" With no intent on changing the behavior or even talking to those students. There are so many things going on right now in the real world, like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this school will silence students or teachers talking about it, or any topic they deem "inappropriate". Things that students suggest never even get to the principal, like the Gender neutral bathroom, is not even in consideration because some parents have "concerns" so your forced to out yourself if you want to use the right bathroom, which could get you bullied. There are plenty of racist students in this school, and the teachers don't care. Please do not send your child to this school, for their mental health.
