Andrew P. Hill High School

Posted November 11, 2009

By far, one of the best schools in the area. The staff is comprised of educators who truly care deeply about every student who attends this school. The students who attend Andrew P. Hill are generally kindhearted people who are independent and very educated. Although there are some people there who do not care much about education, they generally avoid the rest of the school population and do not bother anybody. Every year, Andrew P. Hill produces students that are accepted to some of the most prestigious universities in the world. These include Columbia, Stanford, Harvard, UC Berkley, UCLA, Yale, and others. These students also tend to receive multiple scholarships. If any parent wishes the best for their child, he/she would enroll their student in Andrew P. Hill and allow their child to blossom through this school's multiple programs, that include IB, AP, Bio Tech, Nursing, Green Academy, and Hill Academy.

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 to worry about the staffs.

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 are also many teachers that truly care and stay until at least 5 or 6 everyday for students that ask for the extra help. 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.

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 an excellent education (and, of course, an excellent chance of getting into some of the best universities around), then use the IB program. 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.
