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.

Alexander Hamilton was a great high school to be in. The teachers there push you to do your best and help in any way to improve in your skills. Something that should be changed there is the uniform policy because it's not fair to get detention for not wearing a tie.

I have sent my daughter to this school and she has received an excellent education. When things were difficult at home the school was there to support us. My daughter has a disability and she was accepted at the school by everyone. It is the best school in all of Paterson and I feel so lucky to have gotten my child entry

This was a great school and since they lost their leader Ms Galizia it has turned into a travesty. Fights everyday, the teachers don’t care anymore they just want to get out.

I would say my school can do better. Stop bullying, stop the teachers from having favorite students,and to treat everyone the same. There should be no special privileges for certain students. Everyone should get the same respect and to be able to do the same things without feeling left out.
