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.

Hamilton High is a school that needs change. It needs more teachers with motivation to help the students succeed. The school culture needs to go up as the students do not feel cared for and therefore act recklessly. There needs to be intervention between the students and administration because both sides feel as if they are unheard.

I would like everything to change honestly.
