As of 2003, the school had an enrollment of 2,164 students.
The schnool is renowned for its excellent academic programs. Hickman has had more Presidential Scholars named than any other public high school in Missouri. Its literary journal, the Hickman Review, has received several prestegious national awards.
Recently, the school, originally built on the country estate of David H. Hickman in 1927, has recently undergone a major renovation, the most notable additions being a brand new commons area, administrative office, and state-of-the-art language lab.
Differing from its in-town rival, Rock Bridge High School, the school retains a traditional 7-period schedule (wheras Rock Bridge uses a block system). A variety of classes are offered, from a wide variety of honors and AP courses, to various courses for all aspects of the arts, as well as courses specializing in vocational education.
