Hamilton High School

I graduated from Hamilton High about 5 years ago now and graduated from college last year. I enjoyed going to this school. Security did a good job of keeping students in check and the faculty was always great to work with. The school has a closed campus versus Chandler High which has an open campus. I think a closed campus offers better security for the students and helps keep kids out of trouble as well.

Hamilton High School is a great school, i have only been here for a few months and i can already tell that I'm going to have a great time. Hamilton has challenging programs like AP classes that anybody up for the challenge can take, AVID is also a great class as it helps you go through your honor classes and your life. AVID also gets you involved either be it sports or clubs. The main goal of AVID is to help you succeed and get you to college, it is a great class as well as Hamilton is a great school. In my opinion Hamilton is the best school in the state academically and in sports as it helps you get closer to the school with assemblies every second Friday talking not just about football but about everything going on in the school. Hamilton really makes you feel like you belong. GO HUSKIES!

I DISLIKE THIS SCHOOL ! I sent my son to this school for his freshmen year and he said they had an "assembly every friday" for football, Why The Heck would the Principal allow this ? it seems like the whole school cares more about football than EDUCATION ! hamilton to me is only better because its located less than a mile away, i didnt care if i had to drive more north to find a better school so i chose to take him to Chandler High School. the teacher and principal are very respectful, its better to take your child to chandler they offer higher level education like IB/AP and dual credit. Sorry hamilton maybe you guys should make your school a football academy and not an education school!!

Hamilton is really a wonderful school. In just 10 years, it has set high standards for its students and reaches above level in all areas, even sports; which compete highly to the top schools in the state. This layout is quite the work of art, besides the fact that it's a bit small for the amount of students it holds, but we cope. Their motives are to send every student to college, and guest speakers are in and out of the classrooms delivering encouragement. There are plenty classes you can take to expand your horizon, if you will, and teachers are all willing to help. The career center is a great place to plan on classes to take in the future, and where you want to go to school after you graduate. I've met some pretty amazing people there and i will never for it. We made Traditions that will be passed along to future students. Huskies forever!

This is a pathetic excuse for a school. All you need to do is show up to pass. It is not a prep school. It is a football academy.

My son has been attending Hamilton for the last three years and he has had a great experience at this school so far. He is getting an A+ education for most of his teachers are dedicated and knowledgeable. He has been able to take challenging and rewarding classes as Hamilton does provide a great curriculum for those who need and desire to excel. Keep up the good work.

I live in the area and I have seen the students' behavior in and around the campus. I also read a lot on the school's achievements. I must say that I would not send my child to this school. One time 2 students were making out right outside the restroom in the library (the library also serves as a public library). Another student was wearing really short shorts and she was sitting by the window outside the library showing more skin than one needs to see. The other day students were driving out of the school without yielding/watching the traffic. The students from one of the cars tossed out soda cans while the car was moving. I know there're a lot of good students there and the school test scores are good, but the way that some of the students present themselves in public makes me doubt whether this school really lives up to the high rating. A great school is not just about test scores and sports programs. It's also about the student's whole person development. They need to have self-respect and courtesy for others.

As for Mr. Bill Kleinman, Thank you for helping me during my time at Hamilton, you are truly the greatest teacher I have ever had and i wish you all the success in the world as you were the one who made it possible for me to have the great success I have today.

I strongly feel that this school hindered my daughter's education as a result from cyber bulling from other students and the lack of communication from which the teachers failed to meet as far as my expectations. Therefore, I had no choice but to transfer my daughter to another school district where she would feel safe in an enviornment in which she would be able to learn.
