Fort Hamilton High School

"Graduating here this year, staff is pretty hit or miss, but for the most part teachers here are good. School is overcrowded and can be annoying sometimes. Good deans though so at least the school is safe. I recommend this school if it’s your zone (come in honors) or if you’ve got meh grades, it’s not worth a commute, but it’s not so bad you should avoid it. Great sports programs though"

"My son is a high school senior at this high school. Apparently sworn to secrecy by way of profit or by way of threat, my son has demonstrated that there is an extensive drug network at this school. Nestled in a high price neighborhood, this school appears to be a magnet for drug dealers of all types and no child is unaffected. The administration appears to be clueless as their priorities seem to be to maintain confrontation with parents. The impression is one typified by antagonism to parents while promoting themselves as protectors, educators and saviors of our children. In this atmosphere of misinformation, the administration misses the drug dealings that take place on and off school grounds. If I could do it again, I would have kept my youngest child, a son, far away from this place: a school whose culture is confrontational with parents while their children become addicted."

"My sister is a new comer in school, and I have to say she's had the worst experience there. To clarify, she is American and her english is impeccable, but she just came from a different country where she got nothing but straight A's with a different learning system and came to FH where they were giving her class like a regular student, not to mention the pressure and stress they gave her expecting her to learn everything a senior would know in just 7 months. So what happens? She fails one of her regions... math to be exact. And they won't allow her to graduate. And we had to CALL to figure out a day before the graduation that she couldn't graduate (after she had the illusion that she was going and payed the graduation fees, bought her dress and shoes, etc) You could imagine her reaction when she found out."

"Class "2000 - 2005" !!!Good old time!!! I still have a good memory moment facing lazy teacher and doesn't even mind all student cheating on final regent exam on History and English. several nice teachers and concern student give a guide to pass the class and able to make up extra point to boost on the grade the rest teacher doesn't even care and making student miserable fail and retake the course again and has no choice to transfer another class subject..... !!!Beware and keep your eyes peel!!!"

"Good old Fort is still standing after many many years of service! I went to this school in 91 and can say that I have some good things to say about it and some bad....I just wish they had the pool when I was there! The rumor is you can swim if you pay a fee and if you graduated there you are in the in!"
