(September 2011)
"I was a student at Hamilton from September 2007 to June 2008. I had tried to get in to the Humanities Magnet, but unfortunately I did not. As a result, I had to go into the regular school community and join one of the SLCs. My choice, sadly, was not the greatest. I left middle school with all honors classes, and the only honors class I had at Hamilton was English, where half the students were labeled Honors and the other half were labeled regular and we got the exact same amount of easy homework. I tried seeing my counselor about changing my schedule and having more honors classes. However, my counselor did no effort to attempt and fix my class schedule, so I had to stay in what I was in for one semester. I decided I couldn't stay here another year, so I began looking for a private school. As soon as Hamilton got word of this, I was finally paid attention to and they tried to convince me to stay. I was promised many things, but it was too late. I had found a better school, and I do not regret leaving Hamilton. I became so much well prepared where I went. It's true you have to find the classes and teachers yourself, but if they won't cooperate with you, how can you?"

"As a parent of a student in the humanities program, the programs as a whole is best suited for students who are from a middle school that truly prepares them for Hamilton Humanities.(the majority of the students in the program attended Palms or a private school, prior to Hamilton-most other middle schools are not preparing the students for a rigorous program as such!) My child was an honor student and up until this year was taught well, and challenged! The administration and some teachers choose to only help those students who they believe are the expected successful norm!"

"I hate this school. I feel that it is not giving me a proper education, the teachers are unreasonable and are never helpful. The principal does not even respond to complaints by students and parents."

"The school Principal, Mr. Gary Garcia, is an involved administrator committed to the best interests of the students. I recently had an issue with a school incident and Mr. Garcia was actively involved in resolving the issue and handled the problem fairly and professionally. "

"The education is terrific!"
