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.

It's a good school that has challenging coursework and teachers that genuinely want to help and car about your education. They are actively working on making their campus better and since my sophomore year have been using digital learning but still rely partly on paper and pen.

Hamilton high school is pretty average. This food is not too bad, but you need to get it from a certain part of the cafeteria to be good. The portions are small. I don't like the new administration because it is restrictive and doesn't allow you to pursue the classes you want all the time.

I have loved my 4 years at Hamilton High School. We have a great support system with counselors and administrators. Hamilton's athletic department is strong and always at the top of each sport. I do wish we had better school spirit at the girls games. I love the culture at school, diverse group of people. The size of the school can get over whelming. The new school rules this year are horrible although I am sure it is needed.

I went to this school 10 years ago and it was a complete nightmare. Teachers openly told us they hated teaching. 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...
