Hamburg High School Reviews
Rating 3.7 out of 5 220 reviews
I moved to Hamburg in 2020 just before my senior year started unfortunately. It was pretty bad since corona was still present. Everyone was six feet apart and had to wear masks, which was awful since nobody would talk. But this experience didn’t last long. Even with all the restrictions I had a pretty decent school year for being the new student in such a hectic time. Mostly all my classmates were friendly to me and tried to make sure I was involved. My teachers were genuinely be very skilled at there jobs and actually seemed like they wanted to be there. I was honestly pretty surprised at how kind and laid back everyone was. My old school seemed strict in comparison to this new school, though they really weren’t. I actually had to move again before school ended. I was moving out of state which would be quite problematic, but because of corona I switched over to remote. I was lucky that my counselor and principal were so helpful during the process. I genuinely liked this school!
As an openly queer student, there have been less sunny parts of my school experience. I've been called numerous slurs by fellow students, dismissed by some teachers, and have been made uncomfortable at school on a regular basis. However, these are problems one would face at virtually any school, and on a broad level, HHS has been mostly supportive of the attempts myself and others have made to make HHS a more inclusive and welcoming place for everyone. I aided in founding our Civic Engagement Club, and events we've run, such as pride spirit days, a day of silence for MMIW, and various educational campaigns, would not have been possible without cooperation and open-mindedness from the students and staff. HHS has a stellar music department and many inspiring teachers. I've made lifelong friends and memories. I've grown as a musician and a person here. Even if I could start over, I wouldn't change anything. But the school itself is not what I'm commending- its the people within it.
Hamburg is a great school with many attributes. We have supportive staff and students for the most part, though there are always a few exceptions to that rule. Students at Hamburg are typically intelligent and driven, and will challenge themselves with AP or college-level courses. The majority of Hamburg students go on to higher education. Hamburg offers multiple ways to begin higher education while still enrolled in high school. Several classes in your senior year, and a couple in junior, offer dual enrollment with nearby Hilbert College at a much lower price than you would pay for a normal college education. Beginning in your junior year, there is also an option to enroll in vocational programs to learn a trade such as cosmetology, plumbing, auto repair, childcare, welding, pre-veterinary school, and more.
