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.

Hammonton High School holds so many memories of my time in high school and I would not change anything honestly. I would like to see changes in the sports categories and how they prepare us for college. We do not feel ready to leave because we have not been prepared. I would like to see changes in the counseling department so students feel comfortable applying to college because everyone is so confused while trying to find themselves.

The school community is very driven, yet lacks a connection for most. The educational department is lackluster in the amount of higher courses provided. Many students opt to take online Honors and AP courses due to the focus remaining on lower level education.

I transferred from a private school to this public school. In my private school, it was super easy to get a 4.0 gpa since teachers didnt challenge the students much. At Hammonton I realized how much it changed. I enjoy being in many clubs and students being very involved with school spirit. The change I would like to see is the timing. I dont like going in at school 7:30 am, waiting for bus as 6:20.

I'm 37 years old...I also went to Hammonton high school. Now, my daughters is in this school and my 8 year old is in the Elementary school. In all honesty, my kids love their schools and that says a lot coming from a 16 yr old. High school is a hard time for a kid and Hammonton has always been diffe...
