Summary:

The city of Pasadena, Maryland is home to two high schools: Chesapeake High and Northeast High. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and are part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district.

Based on the available data, Chesapeake High appears to be the stronger-performing of the two schools, with a higher statewide ranking, a 3 out of 5 star rating, and better student proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to Northeast High, which has a 2 out of 5 star rating. However, both schools have similar graduation rates and chronic absenteeism levels, which are areas of concern for the district.

In terms of student demographics, Chesapeake High has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively more affluent student population compared to Northeast High. Both schools struggle with low Mathematics proficiency rates, which is an area that may require targeted interventions and support across the district.
