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 experience with this school has been good and bad. Some of the teachers there only care about the higher up kids and majority have favorites. Our school only cares about are sports and no other school activities. I do have many teachers that do show lots of care and support for my future. I wish are school showed more diversity and taught us more about respecting our peers and their surroundings. I also think our school could show more support to kids who are struggling. Have more open discussions about the lgbtq community.

It was the most fitting place for me. There's always room for improvement, but I felt so welcomed and loved by parents, peers and staff.

At Hamilton high school I really liked how the teachers cared about their students and how nice everyone is. One thing I did not like was when you didn't understand certain teaching methods and they could not explain differently.
