The best parts were a few of the teachers who actually cared about you and want to see you do better. The worst parts was the administration because it was very sexist in the way that they would do things.

As a senior student at sussex Hamilton high school I have seen a lot. Most of which being good. The teachers at the school are astounding they use many different learning tactics to make sure students understand the information being thrown at the them. They are also incredibly kind, making sure everyone is involved. One negative I would say about the school is the lack of adversity throughout.

I like the administration at Hamilton because they are helpful and understanding when it comes to personal issues you face. Something I like to see change is more of a variety of electives to take.

In terms of preparation for college, Sussex Hamilton did a well job at preparing you for success. Unfortunately, I had an experience of bullying at the school by one individual. That individual came onto my bus and attacked my cousin and I, and yet the school suspended me and my cousin from the bus...
