7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe recently moved into the area and originally planned to transfer our kids to the San Marino School District. However, after just two weeks at Hamilton, we knew this was the right school for our family. We absolutely love the diversity here—did you know there are 26 languages represented at Hamilton? The school’s International Fair was a highlight for us, with 19 countries showcasing their food and culture. The strong parent involvement also creates a sense of community and gives the school a feel similar to a private school. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to stay!Parent Review1y ago - Thurgood Marshall Secondary School
