Summary

Glen Burnie High in Glen Burnie, MD, is a large public high school serving 2,226 students in grades 9-12, with over 61% of students from low-income families, and it is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district.

Glen Burnie High presents a mixed picture for parents. On one hand, the school has a strong graduation rate of 91.5%, which is above the district average and higher than nearby schools like Meade High (82.5%) and North County High (83.3%). On the other hand, academic proficiency, especially in math, is a major concern. Only 10% of students are proficient in math, which is dramatically lower than the district average of 29.3% and far below the 40.4% proficiency at the nearby top-performing Severna Park High. English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is much stronger at 50.9%, close to the state average of 51.7%. The school also faces a severe chronic absenteeism crisis, with 35.5% of students chronically absent—nearly double the district average and much higher than Severna Park High's 11.1% rate.

Interestingly, the school's challenges are not due to a lack of funding, as its per-student spending of $15,838 is comparable to higher-performing schools in the district. The contrast between the high graduation rate and low math proficiency suggests that while students are completing their coursework, many are not mastering core academic skills. There are some signs of improvement, with the school's state ranking rising from the 18th percentile to the 42nd percentile over the past two years, and chronic absenteeism decreasing from a peak of 45.2%. However, parents should be aware that the school's performance is heavily influenced by socioeconomic factors, as seen in the stark comparison to Severna Park High, where only 9.66% of students are from low-income families versus 61.32% at Glen Burnie.

They are positive things I like to say about the school. The teachers and staff are nice the school resource officers are nice. The worst thing about this school is that I have gone bullied before buying a student and one of the students tell the whole school not to be friends with me and I was going to a situation with that student and this one boy who literally pushed me in the hall and after a week later he started being all nice instead of apologizing to me the bathrooms are always be locked up. The school smells like weed it is hard to use the bathroom because one of the bathroom things don't work and people keep believing trash in the sinks the kids eat in the bathrooms which is really disgusting the bathrooms will be way too full all the time for no reason because they're not doing what they're supposed to and it's hard to use the bathroom this way.
