Summary

Dulaney High in Timonium, MD, is a large public high school serving 1,889 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, with about 33% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Dulaney High School presents a fascinating contrast in academic performance. The school excels in English Language Arts (ELA), with 61.1% of students proficient, significantly outperforming the district average of 46.1% and the state average of 51.7%. However, mathematics proficiency is a major concern, with only 14.9% of students proficient—well below the district average of 21.9% and the state average of 27.1%. This is especially pronounced in Algebra I, where just 7.4% of students are proficient. The school maintains a solid graduation rate of 90.1%, above the district average of 84.3%, but the dropout rate has been rising, reaching 7.7% in the most recent data. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue, with 29.0% of students chronically absent, which is higher than the district average of 25.6%.

Compared to nearby schools, Dulaney's profile is mixed. While it outperforms Parkville High and Loch Raven High in most metrics, it lags behind its direct competitor, Towson High, which has a higher graduation rate (94.1%), lower dropout rate (4.1%), lower chronic absenteeism (20.5%), and higher math proficiency (21.1%). The George W. Carver Center for Arts & Technology, a magnet school, leads the area with 87.3% ELA proficiency and only 10.1% chronic absenteeism. Dulaney's spending of $16,400 per student is above Towson's $15,278 but below Parkville and Loch Raven, suggesting that factors beyond spending—such as school culture and instructional quality—are key to improving outcomes.
