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.

Throughout my years spent here at Hamilton, I have found many great adventures and others where it hasnt been very pleasing being in the school. Many of the teachers aren't respectful to the students, or wiling to listen to the students voices.

School barley feels like a Highschool . Would be better if we had more activities and school clubs .

I enjoy Alexander Hamilton's willingness to help its students ready themselves for college. Teachers can be tough on their students in order for them to achieve academic goals. However, many teachers are also prepared to help out a student in need.
