GreatSchools Rating
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.

My relationship with Hamilton is up and down. The school isn't bad but I would prefer other schools. Most people are great but some can't get their act together which the staff needs to do better on. Classroom environment depends on the teacher and some do well and some don't I would like to see a change in food for school, more opportunities, and more help.

The best part about Hamilton High School is the opportunities, there are so many different classes, clubs, and communities there. I was able to find my favorite people through the theater department and some of my more unique classes (Like AP Seminar African Diaspora). The worst parts would probably be some of the food options from the cafeteria.

I like Hamilton High School because of how inviting everyone here is. We have amazing staff that is always there to make our learning experience better. Our sports are also great. One thing I would like to see change is the fieldhouse because it is really outdated inside the locker rooms.

Some told us how much they got paid and would divide that per student (ie $1.10 per student). There were a ton of bullies and never consequences for them. Security guards treated us like...

Hamilton teachers need to understand what they are hired for, and what their profession entails. Telling kids you hate teaching and you’d rather be somewhere else should get you fired. This along with teachers putting down their students for their beliefs is what Hamilton is all about. Also students...
