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.

Attending Hamilton was the best choice I ever made in my life. I wish I could redo high school because the teachers we super supportive and wanted their students to succeed at all means. The only thing I would want to change is that they could prepare us students more for the real world.
