Summary

Arundel Middle is a public middle school located in Odenton, Maryland, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,349 students. It is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 13 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arundel Middle consistently ranks in the top 20-25% of Maryland middle schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) exams are significantly higher than the county and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in English Language Arts and Algebra I. Arundel Middle also performs well across different student subgroups, with its African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students ranking in the top 25-30% of Maryland middle schools.

While Arundel Middle outperforms many of the nearby schools, such as Marley Middle, Corkran Middle, and Meade Middle, it lags behind the top-performing schools in the area, such as Crofton Middle and Severna Park Middle, which consistently rank in the top 5-10% of Maryland middle schools. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, which have fluctuated in recent years, and the relatively lower performance of its military-connected students are areas that warrant further attention and improvement.
