Andrew P. Hill High

Summary:

Andrew P. Hill High is a public high school located in San Jose, California, serving 1,715 students in grades 9-12 as part of the East Side Union High School District.

The school has consistently ranked in the middle range of California high schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating average to slightly above-average performance. However, the school's performance varies significantly by student group, with male students outperforming female students and English Language Learners performing relatively well, while Asian and Hispanic students struggle. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined in recent years, and its chronic absenteeism rate has more than doubled, reaching a concerning 34.8% in 2022-2023. Academically, Andrew P. Hill High lags behind many of its nearby counterparts, such as Silver Creek High and Yerba Buena High, which have higher rankings, graduation rates, and academic proficiency rates.

While the school's performance for English Language Learners is a relative strength, its struggles with Asian, Hispanic, and homeless students are areas of concern. The significant increase in chronic absenteeism may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Andrew P. Hill High.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote 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

Open 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

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
