Summary

Severna Park High is a large public high school in Severna Park, MD, serving 1,842 students in grades 9-12 within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, and it is a consistent academic powerhouse ranked 6th out of 227 high schools in Maryland.

This school stands out dramatically from its neighbors. Its elite statewide ranking far outpaces nearby schools like Broadneck High (ranked 27th) and Chesapeake High (ranked 73rd). The most impressive metric is English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, where an extraordinary 89.3% of students are proficient—a massive 33.4 percentage point advantage over the district average. The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at 11.1%, nearly half the district average and far lower than schools like Glen Burnie High (35.5%) or Old Mill High (31.5%). This indicates a highly engaged student body and strong school culture.

An interesting finding is the "math paradox": while Severna Park excels in literacy, only 40.4% of students are proficient in Algebra I. Though this is still above district (29.3%) and state (27.1%) averages, it is not at the same elite level as its ELA scores. The school achieves these top-tier results while spending $15,963 per student—less than several lower-performing nearby schools like Northeast High ($18,189), suggesting high operational efficiency. Notably, Anne Arundel Evening High shares the same campus but serves a completely different demographic, with a 23.3% graduation rate and 4.5% ELA proficiency, highlighting the contrast between the daytime and evening programs.
