Open 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.
