- It costs $76,963 per year to send a teenager to Harvard; however the United States spends $214,620 per year to imprison another one. Clovers is a response to this.
- Location plays a big part of this series. Clover Academy is nestled in rural Texas, 120 miles outside of Houston.
- The creators selected prominent change agents to devise radical strategies inspired by the show to help serve underserved youth and communities in real life.
