This school has more problems then you see, they security guards are involved with kids in nasty ways, they allow bullying, kids a having s** in the school building. I wish I never let my child go here they have the worst school in history of schools.
Posted by a parent on 5/28/2026My ratings are based on long ago experience. I graduated from Hamilton in 1973 and toured the school last year for my 50th reunion. I hadn't set foot in the school since graduation and I was overjoyed that it hadn't changed at all. The auditorium, the pool, the cafeteria were exactly the same. Prist
Posted by a community member on 1/7/2025I attended this high school 2013-2014Let me preface this with, yes, there are some students who get rowdy! So what, the occasional food fights and brawls were delightfully entertaining! (srs) It gives the school character. I transferred to this school from a suburban whitewashed school. When i first
Posted by a community member on 6/15/2016I'm a former student of Hamilton and when i went there the school was already falling apart. Most of the teachers were great but a good deal of them didn't care in the slightest. At the time the guidence counsilors didn't care and would give the students useless classes that could cost them the abil

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have a son in attendance at this school and they have been nothing but helpful and supportive of him. He has an IEP, needs special education, OT and speech, plus he attends ABA Therapy in the afternoon which the school has allowed a special schedule for him to attend. He also requires some extra help with bathroom needs as he was born with a form of spina bifida, which the school had accommodated and taken care of for us since he was 4 years old. There is one special education teacher in particular that we love and supports our son with care. We would definitely recommend this school for special education but also for any other child.Parent Review1y ago - Fairview School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son attended Fairview from K4 through 8th grade, and had an excellent experience, from involved teachers to all specials (art, music, gym and library) provided throughout his time there. Fairview helped him become the curious, well-rounded high school student he is today, fostering a love of piano that he continues to enjoy. Many of the staff who guided him throughout those years are still at Fairview, so if the teachers are remaining, you know this school has something going for it. The school also enjoys support from its neighborhood in the form of neighbors working there, and sending their children there. I count this as another plus.Parent Review2y ago - Milwaukee Spanish Immersion School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former teacher at this school,I would say to all good families out there, run! Unfortunately, the principal( like many in MPS) has neither the skills nor expertise to do their job. They could never manage a classroom. The admin ,for the most part, is insulated and mostly concerned with keeping those 100K+ jobs. Violence, disrespect, and disruption by students and parents ,is met with: What could you as a teacher have done differently? Or, “ The student is Special Ed and has an IEP. We can’t do anything.” No ownership is ever put on the bad parents or students.Teacher Review3y ago - Academy of Accelerated Learning

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children were bullied by teachers and staff, my son has autism and has a hard time telling me about his day. I learned he wasnt allowed to read an animal book because it wasnt a chapter book and since he didnt pick one out he was given a chapter book in SPANISH. He asked if he mixed his slime enough but because they weren't supposed to be talking he had to wait until last to pick the color he wanted. My daughter was bullied on a regular basis and the teacher did nothing about it. Both kids developed low self esteem and mental health issues. After 3 years of that I am now homeschooling what they have gone through at this school is by definition discriminationParent Review5mo ago - Honey Creek Elementary
