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.

My overall experience with East Hamilton has been good so far. The school gives us many opportunities to be engaged and have a great learning atmosphere. Something I would like to see change is the student involvement. The school has so many options for students to be involved by as a student body many don't want to be. I think that by giving students more freedom and ability to make choices for our school environment. Then it could help with all the students wanting to be involved in school things.

My experience with East Hamilton High School has been an overall good experience. I've made a lot of friends at this school, and after only being here for a year and a half I've grown a lot. i joined choir and discovered that I had a passion for the fine arts and am now moving into becoming a Music Therapy major at UTC because of it.

I just recently moved to East Hamilton last year when I switched over from a private school to a public school, the difference between the two schools is huge. The teachers would give us so much work and expect us to do good on it but we have other loads of work from other classes as well. The building itself is nice but we don't have anywhere to just sit and hang it either in the cafe or by the front. The dress code is just dumb for no reason.

The reason the grades at ok are because most of the parents income levels allow for outside tutoring. They overly focus on a str...

I have more than a mouthful to say in regards to this terrible school, and it’s even worse administration and teachers. Save yourself the stress and worry and take your babies somewhere safe, where the teachers and principles actually care. East Hamilton is NOT it.

This school is alright, I guess. I've only been here for almost one year now, and I have some opinions. 1) The teachers here are pretty much hit or miss, either you get an incredible teacher that 100% cares about the students and their safety/mental health, or you get a teacher that absolutely does...
