The school mascot is the falcon. The school colors are black and gold. The school educates approximately 2200 students annually.
There is an ongoing movement to make the school a charter school. However, this push was rejected by district trustees [1], though the effort is continuing [2]. If the effort succeeds, Andrew Hill will become the largest charter school in Northern California.
