My daughter started Kindergarten at Hamilton this year. We moved from New York and we are brand new to the Fresno Unified School District. We love our daughter's Kindergarten teacher and all of the staff. Everyone is welcoming and kind to the kids and many of the parents I've met are generous and kind too.

There are some awesome teachers at this school, one being Mrs. Kaufmann 4th grade. My K and 1st grader still attend this school. I did however like Mr Jones better, but this is a transition period and some quick judgments will happen. I also wanted to reply to the parent that said they did not inform the parents of the new policy change, as they did inform parents by phone well before school started. It is very important to have the correct phone number on file at the school for such incidences. Mrs. Rose 1st grade seems to be a very caring and strict teacher, but in a good way. I really like this school and give 4 stars instead of 5 because of the change of principles.

Ever since the new principal, Ms. Marquez, has been there this school is going down hill. Marquez's lack of communication and constant desire to make a name for herself at the expense of the children is frightening. The school actually lost my child ( and a few others) for about 30 minutes thanks to Marquez's new pick up policies, which she did not communicate to parents prior to implementing them.It was so frightening. I pulled my son out immediately and FUSD got me an inter-district transfer that same day. Beware!

Our son went K-6 here. They are on their 3rd principle whom we don't particularly like. She has a rather harsh attitude and has nexed most of the art learning projects that the kids used to do as part of their studies. She seems to have taken the fun out of this magnet school. There are a lot of good teachers here but the new principle has clipped their wings the last couple of years. Without good leadership great teachers will get frustrated and move on. They are sometimes overwhelmed with the # of students, especially in 6th grade. The students rotate between 3 teachers for their core subjects and I think this takes its toll on the teachers. There is one teacher who will try to fit your child into a learning box and if they don't fit, will easily label them with a disorder du jour. Unfortunately this teacher is still there.
