The school is part of the Rochester Community School District, which is ranked 38 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Hamlin Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 15-20% of Michigan elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 95-280 out of over 1,400 schools. The school's performance on the M-Step assessments is generally higher than the state averages, particularly in Math, where 3rd and 4th-grade students have consistently outperformed the state by a significant margin. Hamlin's 5th-grade students have also shown strong performance in Science, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average by over 10 percentage points. The school maintains a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.3 to 17.9 students per teacher, which is lower than the state average and may contribute to the school's academic success.

While Hamlin Elementary School's performance is generally on par with or slightly higher than the other elementary schools in the Rochester Community School District, such as Long Meadow, North Hill, and Hampton Elementary Schools, it lags behind some of the top-performing schools in the district, such as University Hills and Meadow Brook Elementary Schools, which have consistently ranked in the top 5-10% of Michigan elementary schools.
