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 school has a limited range of music and arts. Although academically it's an overall average public high school that does hope for the best for each and every student. Alexander Hamilton offers a decent variety of courses.

Alexander Hamilton is truly a great experience. It is a small school because of the community it is in but because it is small it makes it that much more lovable. Everyone knows each other and there is an immense amount of support. The teachers aren't just teachers but feel like second parents or uncles and aunts. The support for mental health and acceptance of everyone is something I have always loved about my school. I am a Christian and never once was I made to feel less of myself because of my religious beliefs. They accept me for who I am and they love all their students. The inclusivity of not only all students but races and ethnic backgrounds is beautiful.

Great school. Good place to make connects and no one feels left out. The good thing about being in such a small school is that you don't feel lost.

Wonderful teachers. Would recommend to anyone looking for more of a community feel. I feel the teachers and staff actually care about their students and want to see them succeed.

Alexander Hamilton is a well-rounded school I would say so, but there are a few problems. Students are lazy it isn't even the teachers the students do not give effort into school, sure you could blame it on the pandemic but even that shouldn't have affected the ability to learn and do work that much...

The school has changed to the worst year after year and from 2018-2019 it's has reached rock bottom. There are some teachers who should not be working with kids and the teachers need to respect the leadership.

So far not great! There are more teachers that shouldn't be teaching than there are those that are great. Some teachers there are amazing but they are few in numbers and unfortunately as you move up they become worst.
