Summary:

The Anne Arundel County Public Schools district in Maryland oversees 16 high schools serving grades 9-12, ranging from large comprehensive schools like Glen Burnie High (2,226 students) to small alternative programs like Phoenix Academy (64 students), and the data reveals a clear divide in performance and resources across the county.

The top-performing schools are Severna Park High, Crofton High School, and South River High, all earning 5-star ratings with strong English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates above 86% and low chronic absenteeism. In contrast, schools like Old Mill High, Meade High, and Annapolis High face significant challenges, with chronic absenteeism rates exceeding 30% and math proficiency often in the single digits. The alternative schools, Anne Arundel Evening High and Phoenix Academy, serve highly at-risk populations and have critically low graduation rates (23.3% and 40.0%, respectively) and extremely high chronic absenteeism (71.0% and 84.2%).

A key takeaway is that math proficiency is a district-wide weakness, with even the best school, Severna Park High, only reaching 40.4% proficiency, while most comprehensive schools fall between 3.7% and 22.2%. Additionally, spending per student does not correlate with performance; Crofton High School spends the least ($14,834) but is a top performer, while Southern High spends the most among comprehensive schools ($19,270) but ranks lower. For parents, this means that schools like Broadneck High and Arundel High offer strong ELA outcomes and lower absenteeism, while schools with higher poverty rates, such as North County High and Glen Burnie High, may need additional support to improve student outcomes.
