Summary

Broadneck High in Annapolis, MD, is a large public high school serving 2,143 students in grades 9-12 within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, located in a more affluent area of the county.

Broadneck stands out for its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 84.6% of students meeting standards—far above the district average of 55.9% and comparable to top-performing Severna Park High (89.3%). However, the school presents a stark contrast in math, where only 12.2% of students are proficient, which is less than half the district average of 29.3% and significantly lower than Severna Park’s 40.4%. This math proficiency gap is a notable weakness, even when compared to nearby schools like South River High (22.2%) and Northeast High (7.4%). The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%, better than the district average of 19.9% and much lower than Annapolis High (31.2%), indicating strong student engagement.

Broadneck has a strong historical track record, including a #1 ranking in Maryland for the 2022-2023 school year, though it has since settled into a consistently high-performing position. Its graduation rate is high at 94.7% (historical data), comparable to South River High (94.8%) and Northeast High (94.5%). Interestingly, Broadneck achieves these results with a per-student spending of $15,346, which is lower than several lower-performing schools in the district, such as Northeast High ($18,189) and Chesapeake High ($17,919). This suggests efficient use of resources, though the math proficiency crisis remains a key area for improvement.
