Summary

Andrew P. Hill High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 with approximately 1,564 students in San Jose, part of the East Side Union High district, where a significant majority of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, particularly in mathematics where proficiency is less than half the district average, and chronic absenteeism is a serious concern at nearly 33%. However, it shows notable strengths in supporting English Language Learners and has maintained a graduation rate above the district average. Performance varies dramatically among different student groups, with male students generally outperforming females and Asian students at this school performing well below typical state expectations for that subgroup. The school's per-student spending is higher than some nearby, higher-performing schools, yet outcomes are lower, and its effectiveness with Special Education students has shown extreme year-to-year volatility.

When compared to nearby schools, the differences within the same district are striking. For instance, Silver Creek High, just 1.5 miles away, dramatically outperforms Andrew P. Hill across all subjects. Nearby charter schools like University Preparatory Academy Charter achieve exceptional results with similar or fewer resources, though they serve a student population with a lower poverty rate. This contrast highlights that school-specific factors, beyond just funding or district policies, play a crucial role in student success at Andrew P. Hill.

As the grandparent on one of your students, I have noticed how little care has been given to a student who 'just doesn't get it" in two of your classes. No one went the extra mile to keep this student from slowly falling behind. Close Quote

I love the responsible teachers here. They are just awesome. I feel safe being at school. The campus is nice and green. Classrooms are neat and equipped.
However, the academic standard is not so high due to the irregular ability of students although the teachers are very professional and they always try their own best. Close Quote
