The 4 years I have been at East Hamilton High School have been interesting but enjoyable. I was in choir from freshman year to junior year and that was a highlight of my high school years. I also play for East Hamilton track, I do shot put and discus and I have really enjoyed that and I love coach Smith. the worst part of east hamilton is the dress code and the food they have crappy food and the dress code sucks and the sad part is the middle school has more freedom than we do.

East Hamilton is a good school overall. It's one of the top public schools in the county. Most teachers are nice and connect well with students. There's an array of clubs and organizations. A lot of teachers teach you real-life skills other than just the subject and we offer two dual enrollment classes and many AP classes. It can be crowded, and the lunch isn't that good. A lot of events they host are quite overpriced in my opinion. Overall I'd give this school an 8.5/10

The reason the grades at ok are because most of the parents income levels allow for outside tutoring. They overly focus on a str...

I have more than a mouthful to say in regards to this terrible school, and it’s even worse administration and teachers. Save yourself the stress and worry and take your babies somewhere safe, where the teachers and principles actually care. East Hamilton is NOT it.
