Summary

Anne Arundel Evening High in Severna Park, MD, is a small, non-traditional high school serving 439 students in grades 9-12 within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, designed as a second-chance option for students who have struggled in traditional school settings.

This school faces severe challenges that set it apart dramatically from nearby schools. Its graduation rate is critically low at 23.3%, compared to the district average of 88.9%, while nearby schools like Northeast High (94.5%) and Chesapeake High (94.1%) have rates over four times higher. The dropout rate is a staggering 40.6%, more than five times the district average of 7.3%, and chronic absenteeism affects 71.0% of students—over six times the rate at Severna Park High (11.1%), which shares the same campus. Academic proficiency is extremely low, with only 5.6% of students proficient in Math and 4.5% in English Language Arts, compared to Severna Park High's 40.4% and 89.3% proficiency rates, respectively.

One of the most striking findings is that the school has a very low free/reduced lunch rate of 3.87%, the lowest among all nearby schools, suggesting that the challenges students face are not primarily economic but likely stem from severe disengagement, family responsibilities, or other personal circumstances. Despite these difficulties, the school's per-student spending ($16,051) is comparable to other district schools, indicating that the poor outcomes are not due to underfunding but the immense difficulty of serving a highly at-risk population. The school's worsening trends—with the dropout rate more than tripling since 2020-2021—highlight the intensifying needs of its students, making it a unique and challenging educational environment within the county.
