Hamilton High School

My son is new to this school this year. So far I am disappointed. Someone mentioned that, you have to know how to pick your classes. How you do that because so far the school is picking out all my son's classes and electives. I went in to talk to the guidance counselor and he had the worst attitude, as if I was bothering him because I needed to talk to him. Again later, I had a question and called him on the phone. He wanted to get off the phone so fast. I wonder why he works there, if he doesn't want to do his job.

this school is good. most people say its bad but teachers focus in students work. kids get to choose their elective classes and the cluster they want to be in for example business technology medical honors and other options. They also teach french and spanish which is great..! why not go to this school??

this school isn't that bad... most teachers can teach... it's just by knowing how to pick your classes... if you pick good classes then you're going to be okay.. it's not as bad as it seems... i don't know why people exagerate, take it from a student...i love this school, but not until i transfer, did i understand that hamilton was clearly a really good school...

THE WORST SCHOOL YOU COULD EVER SEND YOUR KID TOO!!!! If you want your kid to see a school administrator get beat up...then send your kid here. If you want your kid to see someone get beat up and shaking on the ground...then send your kid here. If you want your kid to see blood on the walls after a fight...then send your kid here. If you want your kid to have teachers that cant teach...then send your kid here. If you want the guidance counselor to wear shorts and a flower shirt and cares less as too whats best...then send your kid here. Less than 4 mths and i pulled my kid out...but i cant pull the memories.

I love this school! Like if I had a choice to leave Hamilton I probably wouldn't. Most teachers here stay focused all the time & try to cope through with all the distractions. I don't think the new 'passing time policy' is gonna make any type of difference. With less then 7 minutes to get to class ; most of us can't get there in 10...what makes you think we'll be there in 7. They'll just have more suspensions & suspending kids from school isn't helping getting our education! With 2 more years left here, I'm gonna be happy. This is a great school otherwise. =]

This is my last year as a student at Hamilton this place is a awesome place and i would even consider it home. Going here all my year of high school showed me great things in life. Rumors go around saying Hamilton is a 'ghetto' school but overall i believe all school you go to will have things you don't like. Hamilton may not have a big as a name of riverside, tech, and king but i know Hamilton is just as good or better. This year most or all of our sports team done a great job. Our clubs and classes seems so much more organize than it did before. I love most about the block schdule because of less homework and not having 7 or 8 classes per day and 3 homework per class that will be way to much. Hamilton is the greatest School....

I have two children who graduated from here one going to graduate next year and one more starting next year. I feel my children had a great education at Hamilton. I also think you get out of it what you give into it. Yes there are problems but what schools now don't have them. Hamilton deals with them and is always willing to help you with any problems you may have.
