I've been very pleased with our experience at Hamilton so far. My daughter loves it and she's doing well academically. I love fact that they're becoming an IB accredited school and all the emphasis they place on the IB learner profile, holding scholars to high academic standards and attitudes. I like the teachers and admin staff I've interacted with. Sports teams are great and they do great academic assemblies like inviting prominent authors to speak. Overall I feel positive about Hamilton and I believe it's on the up and up, compared to past years that were apparently a low point. Close Quote

I am now in college, but I went to Hamilton. I did not like the school. The environment was weird, it was the only school I was ever bullied in, and the disparity between TAP and IPM was enormous.

If I had to do it again, I would not go here. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
