The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I liked that its only for the older kids so its smaller number of kids. I made some good friends. They have a lot of clubs and things to do for students did everything but the sports. Loved the trips to white pines every year for 3 days. Just wish more people would of been nicer.

Years before my child started at Hamlin Upper Grade Center, I had heard that the principal was on top of things and a great leader. My son started at Hamlin this school year, and the principal has absolutely lived up to her reputation. She has taken great care of my son, and I am extremely impressed...
