Research Hamilton Middle School public Schools in Janesville, Wisconsin

“Speaking as a student in Hamilton, I'd have to say it's okay. The after-school activities are nice, and most of the teachers are great, but the halls are noisy in between classes. The lunchroom is also ear-splitting, and riding the bus is rough, and there are not many seats. There is also a good deal of homework in eighth grade, but not very much in sixth and seventh. However, the teachers are incredible. Most of mine have been humorous, positive and lots of fun. Mrs. Bauer and Mrs. Bechen are two amazing teachers. There are a few teachers that are not as good, though. Mrs. Tuccinardi gives lots assignments and hard tests. Mr. Nyugen is a good teacher, though often hard to understand and sometimes accidentally teaching us math we know nothing about. The trophies from various math competitions (over forty of them) are slightly on the intimidating side.”

“High academic standards, with plenty of afterschool activities and club. Very involved parent community.”

“I think Hamilton is a good school for very independent students who have good study habits and students who have severe disabilities but for a student like my son who's somewhere in the middle, smart but not totally motivated, and is currently in 8th grade at Hamilton, I've not been overly impressed. There are surely good teachers at Hamilton but many should consider seeking employment elsewhere. It's clear that many are burned out. If a teachers are bored with teaching students will be bored with learning. A teacher who's most impressed me is Mrs. Bauer, my sons 6th grade teacher at Hamilton.”

“A very good school. One of my two students needed special ed.; the service they provide and the care they showed were superb.”

“Most of the teachers at this school are pretty good, there are some real clunkers but that's to be expected anywhere. Mr. Nyugen is great.”
