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.

Hamilton is a great school offering versatile curriculums for your specialized interests. For example, Hamilton offers many AP courses to help students get college credit. There's also an abundance of electives.

The best part of Hamilton is the support you will find with the staff. The teachers have created an environment where students can seek help whenever needed whether it be about school or their own personal life. This is what made my high school experience worthwhile and helped me figure out what I wanted from a college.

Our administration and school board do not stand up for our kids nor do they stand for ethics and values in education. The curriculum that is approved by the administration and school board contains inappropriate co...

After having a chance to reflect on my families time at Hamilton Schools, the thing that bothers me the most is the opportunities that were lost. Hamilton needs to provide a SAFE environment for kids to learn. By SAFE, I mean a place that allows each student to learn in a way that works for them.Whe...
