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.

the idea of lake hamilton is amazing with the academics, sports, food, but like everything else is cons to it. because the school is so big and there's so many students, it doesn't feel like family. no one REALLY knows each other, there's many clicks within students and everyone walks past each other like we're strangers. lake hamiltons whole thing is "one pack, one nation" whatever but truthfully it's not. most teachers don't have a true connection with students, it's more business like if anything which sucks. coming from a small school with a graduating class of almost 50 and having the same teachers since 7th grade, it was a big switch coming to lake hamilton. the teachers are great and so are the kids but it's hard to feel accepted and happy in a place where there's so many of yall. which isn't necessarily a lake hamilton problem, probably a more me problem but on my first day no one even knew i was a new kid, they just assumed id been going there. there's just no connection

Overall Lake Hamilton offers an abundant amount of opportunities and great teachers. On the other hand, there are certain rules they have put into effect that I believe treats us like we are little kids.

Very negative. The principal at the primary yelled or talked down to me in front of staff. She did not ask me what was going just reprimanded me for my daughters excessive tardiness. Usually a few minutes late at most. I was the care taker for my Uncle who died and my mother was having psychotic epi...

I am scared. I get bullied, and no one helps. The is little to no help at this school. I don't want a child to go here, and be treated as a thing. At this school I am just a number, a test score. Despite it being a "public" school, it is the most closed minded school I have every been too. The staff...

Although Lake Hamilton High School was overall a good experience as a student, some areas could easily be improved with the proper oversight. Certain teachers were wonderful, while others were laughable. I could go from one extremely difficult test to joking around and playing poker in back to back...
