About

Hamilton Elementary School is located in the heart of La Crosse. The student body consists of preschool through fifth-grade children.

Our dedicated staff rejoices in the unique individuality of each student. Our strong K-5 academic program uses the curricula of the School District of La Crosse. Individual needs of students are addressed through small class size (SAGE program), the Title I program, and the EL (English Language Learners) program. We have many community and university volunteers. Our students are also supported through these programs: Art, Music, Physical Education, Guidance, Social Work, Learning Disabilities, and our after-school programs.

Besides a strong academic program that addresses the diverse needs of our students, Hamilton provides our families with many opportunities outside of the school day.

• The Boys and Girls Club of the Greater La Crosse Area uses Hamilton Elementary School as a satellite site. Programs are available for all Hamilton students in kindergarten through second grade, from 2:25 – 5:30 p.m. on school days. Programming includes social, recreational, and academic activities for different age groups. For 3rd through 5th grades the Boys and Girls Club program offers activities at their Mathy site.
• Family nights are held monthly. These family nights can consist of anything from children’s concerts to helpful ideas for parents.

The Hamilton preschool collaboration is a model program in the state of Wisconsin. The collaboration consists of classes of four-year-old preschool and early childhood special education.

We value our children and adhere to the principles of high expectations, responsibility, perseverance, self-discipline, giving, honesty, compassion, and respect.
