I have had a good 3 years at Hamilton the teachers are very helpful and nice. The coaches here are ok some can be better but they get the job done. Hamilton is a good school especially for performing arts, we have a lot of student involvement and a good support system.

Academics wise, the information is taught well. The teachers understand their material and their teaching methods are understandable.

It's a good school in general not everyone is the same here so it makes space for YOU to show people who you are and represent yourself. Variety of different clubs and even college programs that help with your readiness. The teachers are nice and its easy to talk to your teachers for the different subjects. Making friends is also something that happens naturally because everyoen is nice here and you can find your people that you connect with the most. The only problem I have at this school is how they close the bathroom due to people vaping in them so they had to close some of the bathroom while on others they had to be supervised and you have to show your id.

We looked at several high schools for our kids and chose the Hamilton Humanities magnet. The program has both the rigor we were looking for and a smaller community to create a meaningful High School experience. The teachers are engaged and accessible to our student. Our student has also taken advant...
