Teachers here get results, their connection to students is awesome! The Principal goes above and beyond her duties to maintain the high standards it is known to have.

I believe this school develops the WHOLE student/child. Staff is serious about academics but there is also a lot of attention paid to social development, athletics, and discipline. I have truly never seen teachers OR a student body that is more compassionate to the teachers, students, and each other. The teachers and administration are determined not to let anyone slip through the cracks.

Well, i think that Hamlin is a excellent school for any child to attend. Also the teachers are so involed with the kids this includes sports of any kind, the students learning and safety. The princpal is awesome! there is nothing that any parent/student can't go to her about. She is very experienced in what she does. She also loves her job bad or good.

My daughter is new to Hamlin and already I can see a positive change in her. She transferred from another area school and is adjusting quite well. You can tell that the teachers genuinely care about the students. The school is diverse and the academics are top notch. There are plenty of opportunities for parents to become involved and there are extracurricular activities. It is a small school and has a family like atmosphere.

I used to like hamlin when my daughter went there. But now,the principal that they have I do not think is experienced enough and I also do not think she really cares about the kids. I have seen her be very callous when it comes to the kids in school.

Hamlin is a school that cares about kids. You can sense this the very moment you enter the building. The teachers at Hamlin keep you updated with everything -- good or bad. The principal is firm but fair and is always available to talk to about any concern. I know that my children are safe and getting a quality education at Hamlin.

I am a former student from Hamlin. I sadly had to graduate Hamlin yesterday night. I'll miss the school and the teachers next year. The teachers actually cared about all of us. They would treat us like we were there own kids.

Good quality school, many updates new gym, great location, nice area, though 10% kids attending seem to be very abnoctious and or ignorant in terms of respecting other kids and adults.
