Hamilton Community Elementary School

Wow, that's all I can say! After moving from a fairly large school to this very close-knit community, I couldn't wait to have my children enrolled in the school system. I couldn't be more disappointed. 1) The principal seems to be lacking the capabilities necessary for her job title when dealing personally with the children and also dealing with the parents 2)There is a huge lack of organization and policy 3)Poor communication between the school system and parents Hamilton Elementary really needs to get their act together, I don't see this school surviving very long at the rate they are going. Please for the sake of all our children, do what is necessary to make this work. Please take a good look at your policies, your staff overall and make some changes. This is NOT the warm, friendly, safe environment that I could not wait for my children to be in.

My kids just started going to Hamilton. My 7th grader is doing great. I also have a 5th grader who used to get all A's she brought home her first F she is so up-set. I think she will be going back to her old school. The home work for her is atleast 2 hours a night. Our kids spend all day at school they should not have to come home and spend there whole night doing homework. I am a unhappy parent.
