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.

I think Hamilton can be a very clique place, and some of the teachers seem to not care about the students as much as the money they are making, which is really really sad. However, there are some teachers who would give anything for their students and go out of their way to make themselves available for everything, even stuff that is not related to academics. Hamilton is a very safe place, and we don't have to worry bery much about fights, vandalism, or violence.

Hamilton is a small school that is closely knit together. Everyone is friendly and everyone is a hard worker. The teachers at the school are friendly and are always willing to help those in need. They stay late if anyone has help that they need, and genuinely care about their students success. It's a great environment to be around.

Our sports teams are amazing every year. Just last year our track team had two state champions and our school doesn't even have a track to run on. Our coaches are intense and make the athletes work hard, but they are also caring and nice to talk to.
