Summary

Dulaney High is a public high school located in Timonium, Maryland, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,845 students. It is part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, which is ranked 17th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Dulaney High has had a fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 11th to 158th among Maryland high schools, and its SchoolDigger star rating varying between 2 and 5 stars.

Dulaney High consistently outperforms the Baltimore County Public Schools and Maryland state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, particularly in 10th grade. However, the school lags behind in mathematics proficiency. Dulaney High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, but its dropout rates have been increasing in recent years, and the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism. Additionally, Dulaney High has seen a substantial increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools, Dulaney High's performance is generally stronger than Parkville High and Loch Raven High, but Towson High and George W. Carver Center for Arts & Technology outperform Dulaney High in several key metrics. Dulaney High's performance has shown a concerning decline in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping and its SchoolDigger star rating decreasing. This trend is accompanied by increasing dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be contributing factors to the school's declining performance.
