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 have had a great experience with Hammond Academy or Science and Technology. I have always felt safe and never had any discrimination towards me. I have also been successful in my classes and clubs.

Attending Hammond academy of Science and Technology was the best decision my parents could have made. The school welcomes any and everybody leaving no one to feel like an outsider. They take their students academics serious and always there to guide us to be better no matter what. It not all rainbows and sunshine but the good of the school always out ways the few bad. I would always recommend the school.

I feel this school performance begins from the top. It is silently segregated and driven from a political agenda. It began as program that does not guarantee a parent the tools necessary to monitor the child educational career. They say it is technology based but half the time you can't even monitor...
