Nope No A/C grade 1-12.

No air conditioning while I was attending high school up to graduation in 1966. College classrooms and dorms were not air conditioned either: 1966-1970. In researching this topic, I found that my old school district in Delaware is focused on the issue of climate change in air conditioning public schools--what a surprise!

we still had dirt floors and wooden shutters, no ac, and walked to school uphill, both ways, in the snow, without shoes....

We had windows.

Lucky.

At least you had shutters

Graduated in 73. Never any ac. My dad finally got ac in a 69 Chevy Caprice when i was.in.high school. He would set in the car when it got to hot! Still dont have central air, just a couple portables.Better than.nothing

K-12 No
College nope

Silent

K-4, no AC, Catholic school. Kids in lower grades were allowed to wear shorts.
Grades 5-8 had AC so no shorts.
Catholic, all boy, military (ROTC) based high school we had AC so full uniforms including ties and blazers.
I survived Catholic School!

Billy

Nope

11-12 Had a few classes in the new building with a/c, finished 1967

No for the rest of the school time and no for home time either. This was in Georgia.

Nope, not during Elementary school in Florida. I guess it could have been worse, like New Orleans or Easley SC, two of the HOTTEST places I've ever been in the hottest part of summertime.

Nope, K-12. Graduated in 78. I think we were the last house in the neighborhood to get central A/C. And the last house to get color TV. Didn't think much of it as a kid, outside all the time!

K-2nd, don't think so, tho K and 1st were in a new wing (looked like a big saucer) and may have,

2nd grade was in the old part of the school, got hot, and the big windows went up,
no screens,


3rd thru 8th at a private school (blame bussing) in a church,
do recall heat, don't recall AC,

after that, last 4 yrs in a public high school, that did have AC/Heat, it was new, opened in 75, I graduated in 81

AC, absolutely not. I don't think it was even a thought. Most of the school year it was cold. It would only get hot really a month or so at the beginning and end of the year.

I remember a few class rooms that would get so warm in the winter it was common to have windows cracked open.

K through Batchelor's - No. New England.

Law School in Boston, yes. Was in a modern (ish) tower. The second ugliest building in Boston only just behind Boston City Hall. Brutalist concrete of the worst kind.

1 - 5 no. 6 - 8 yes. 9 - 12 no.

I graduated high school in 86, and I never went a single semester without a/c. I went to school in Texas and I can’t imagine how miserable it would’ve been without some cool air.

K - 8 is a No, I believe 9 - 12 had AC (likely installed in the 1970s), though it was not very effective if it did.

Well, we had to use our playground time to fight off the Indians…………

I went to school in the UP of Michigan. We did not have school in the summer, so no AC was not needed.
