Summary

Arundel Middle in Odenton, MD, is a large, high-performing school serving 1,312 students in grades 6-8 within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, and it has earned a 4-star rating for the past decade while climbing to the 88th percentile statewide.

Arundel Middle stands out for its exceptional academic results, especially in advanced math. An impressive 91.5% of students taking Algebra I are proficient, the highest rate among all nearby schools—far exceeding even top-ranked Severna Park Middle (67.3%). In overall math and English Language Arts, Arundel Middle significantly outperforms the district and state averages, with proficiency rates more than double those of struggling neighbors like Marley Middle and Corkran Middle School. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6%, compared to the district average of 19.9%, and is highly effective with its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 81st percentile for that subgroup. Notably, Arundel achieves these results with lower per-student spending ($15,247) than many lower-performing area schools, demonstrating strong efficiency.

While Arundel Middle is a top-tier school, it is not the absolute highest performer in its area—Severna Park Middle and Crofton Middle have even higher test scores. However, Arundel’s strength lies in achieving excellent results with a more diverse student body (26% free/reduced lunch) compared to those elite schools. The school shows particular strength with male, African American, and low-SES students, but has room to improve support for military-connected students, a key group given its proximity to Fort Meade. Overall, Arundel Middle offers a strong, upward-trending academic environment that effectively serves a wide range of students.
