Harding Elementary School WCCUSD

Harding Elementary School has been at the same location since the 1930s. During this period of time, it has had three new buildings:
The first, within my recollection, was a brick building. Its mentioned by Neva Calvert Carpenter in her book «Harem Scarem in El Cerrito: The LIfe of a Little Girl Growing up in El Cerrito, California»
The second building was built when I was in the fifth grade. It had brick facing and was considered considerably safer than its predecessor.
The third building was built a couple of years ago. It’s definitely state-​of-​the-​art and contains the students, teachers, and staff of one of the best community-​oriented, walkable, and energetic schools in the West Contra Costa Unified School District.
You don’t believe me?
Check out the Berkeley Parents Network website for its opinions. Parents praise the school for its low teacher/​student ratio, give it high marks for helping students acheive their academic goals and note that it is one of the best «neighborhood» schools in the area.
