Andrew Putnam Hill High School is a secondary school located in San Jose, California which educates students in grades 9-12. It is part of the East Side Union High School District (ESUHSD). As of 2007, the school principal is Ms. Bettina Lopez.

The school mascot is the falcon. The school colors are black and gold. The school's enrollment is approximately 2200.

There is an ongoing movement to make the school a charter school. However, this push was rejected by district trustees [http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/opinion/13200168.htm] , though the effort is continuing [http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/politics/13029307.htm] . If the effort succeeds, Andrew Hill will become the largest charter school in Northern California.

As of 2006, 45% of the school's students qualify for the free lunch program, compared to the district average of 25%.

This school is famous for its IB and MAGNET program.
