Addison is one of 12 great elementary schools in the Palo Alto Unified School District. Wonderful staff & dedicated, talented teachers. Great programs in music, art, technology & science. Addison is one of the first original school in Palo Alto from way back in the day. It is located on the corner of Addison and busy Middlefield Road. Main entrance to the school is not on Middlefield Road. I always have thought it creepy that the school is right across the street from a mortuary. Well, I guess… whatever. The school was there long before the mortuary was. Oh well, I guess you get use to it or in the very least ignore it.
