GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This is my first year at Hamilton. I had transferred after finishing my freshman year at a different high school in Arizona. I can honestly say that switching to Hamilton has been one of the best choices of my life. The students, teachers, academics, college career center, are all top tier. I honestly really like Hamilton and I am happy to be spending the next three years there.

Hamilton Highs school has a wide variety of AP classes with many wonderful teachers. The soccer program is good, but the coaching is inconsistent.

Hamilton high school is a great school to prepare for your future. Even though throughout my time, I've hit some hard rock the teachers and people are on me as always help me to get back on my feet, And become a better student. I've learned many lessons while being at school even though it's been four years I was able to learn so much. All meeting all different types of people and fighting through adversity I believe that the school is great at preparing the new generation of students.

Hamilton teachers need to understand what they are hired for, and what their profession entails. Telling kids you hate teaching and you’d rather be somewhere else should get you fired. This along with teachers putting down their students for their beliefs is what Hamilton is all about. Also students...
