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 time at Hamburg so far in my Senior Year as well as the rest of my high school career has gone well with some hiccups along the way.

It's just okay. It's obviously not the best , but it is fine. Sometimes I dislike it , but sometimes I do like it. I think sports and student involvement are arguably one of the best and most important parts of this school. The worst part of this school has to be how careless some teachers can be. I would like to see change in the rate at which work is given , and there should be waaay more extra credit opportunities.

At Hamburg Area High School we are hardworking and dedicated to our learning environment. The teachers are willing to help you when you need assistance as long as you show them that you are trying. Hamburg is a safe and well-organized school. If there is ever a slight chance that something will disrupt the school's safety, the facility and police department will immediately step in.
