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 the academics at Hamilton are very good. I experienced some social issues with fitting in, like most teenagers, but the academics and extra-curricular activities are good.

I liked the diversity and resources we would get. There were also many interesting classes you could chose from.

At Hamilton they give you many opportunities. It is a diverse school so anybody is welcomed. We are the only Milwaukee Public School that has a Educators Credit Union in our school. This is ran by students that volunteer their lunch hour times with the help of the business teachers. We are also the only MPS that competes in DECA. DECA is a wide known program where entrepreneurs study and practice to become professional at what they want to be. It is a great experience to attend Hamilton High. Every high school is not great but this one won't let you down. The teachers there really care about you and your future.
