High Schools in Baltimore County Public Schools

Summary:

The Baltimore County Public Schools district encompasses 30 high schools serving students in grades 9-12. The schools in this district vary significantly in size, educational focus, and academic performance, with some standout institutions and others facing challenges.

The top-performing high schools in the district are Eastern Technical High School, George W. Carver Center for Arts & Technology, and Western School of Technology, all of which are highly-ranked magnet schools with exceptional test scores and graduation rates. Other strong performers include Hereford High and Dulaney High, which are traditional public high schools with solid academic records.

In contrast, some schools in the district, such as Lansdowne High and Catonsville Center for Alternative Studies, have much lower proficiency rates and face other challenges, such as high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility and chronic absenteeism. The district-wide graduation rate is 85.8%, and the dropout rate is 10.1%, which are both the district-wide averages.
