This school is awful. The staffs are lazy and cold. Some teachers are good but there are some awful teacher there too. They are rude and heartless and it doesn't seem like they even like kids and some teacher cannot teach at all. My daughter thought she has to worry about the students but no she has

On one hand, you have some of the lowest performing students, making it a program improvement school. Despite the fair share of underachievers, I feel the school has been doing everything to help the students. For those that are struggling and DO care, the library is opened after school tutoring. There

On the other hand, you have the highest achieving students that transfer over from their home schools and travel here every morning (some even come from Milpitas) to be a part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Aside from IB, the school offers plenty of AP classes and a nursing/biotech academy. People just need to give Andrew Hill a chance. I have teachers that were skeptical about working here at first, but love it now. Read less

I loved my experience at AH, and, given another chance, I would go there again. Although my home school is Independence High, I caught wind of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, and decided to take the VTA home every day until I got my license. If you (or your student) is dedicated to getting

I've also heard wonderful things about the Nursing Academy and the Biotech program, and if those fields interest you, then I encourage anyone to give those programs a try. Although there is a brand-spankin' new building, I know that from the outside looking in, AH doesn't look all that stellar. It's really, really the teachers and driven students that make the difference. The administration...not so much. Read less

Here's my honest opinion, if your child has no will to succeed, he/she will fail. Andrew Hill does not promote success as greatly as other schools. The only thing that keeps this school going is the International Baccalaureate. The drive these students have is astounding. It is a school within a school.

My daughter was a studen there, I found that being the only caucasion that I could see, we felt that we were discriminated against at every turn. The school is older & fresh paint would help it a lot. All together I would say send your kid to another high school but definitely not Andrew hill.

I am currently attending this school, as a freshman. It is a fun and great school. The IB program is a spectacular idea. The school is a bit dirty, but the staff and students there are wonderful. I suggest this school for those who would like to join the army because this school has a great ROTC program.
