Name
Hamilton Grange Middle School
Overview
We have been named a NYC Showcase School for School Culture for 2 consecutive years, were NY State's only middle grades Reward School in 2017-18 because our kids made more progress on their state exams than any other students at any other school in NY State, and Teach for America named us 1 of just 4 Schools To Learn From in the United States in 2018-2019. At Hamilton Grange success looks different for each of us. For some, it is starring in our 55-piece band, our school musical, or painting on one of our famous murals. For others it is participating in a combination of activities that include academic success in our classrooms, and competing as members of one of our 12 athletic teams (soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, boxing, track, bouldering, and hiking). We pride ourselves on providing myriad opportunities to our students through over 28 school day electives like spoken word poetry, debate, engineering, theater, and newspaper, and supporting academic success through culturally responsive teaching practices. We have earned local and national recognition for our students' academic growth and our progressive approach to discipline - we use restorative practices rather than detentions or suspensions. We hope to see you soon!
