Summary

Eastern Technical High School in Baltimore, MD, is a public high school serving 1,330 students in grades 9 through 12, and it stands as a consistent academic powerhouse within the Baltimore County Public Schools district. This school is a clear outlier compared to nearby schools, with exceptional test scores that far exceed district and state averages. For example, in English Language Arts, 99.6% of students are proficient, which is more than double the district average of 46.1%, while math proficiency at 53.7% is also more than double the district average of 21.9%. In stark contrast, nearby schools like Dundalk High and Kenwood High have math proficiency rates in the low single digits, at 1.2% and 1.0% respectively.

What makes Eastern Technical even more remarkable is that it achieves these elite results with lower per-student spending and larger class sizes than its neighbors. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school spent $15,647 per student, while nearby schools like Chesapeake High and Patapsco High and Center for Arts spent over $18,500 per student. Additionally, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio of 19.9:1, compared to ratios of 15.2:1 to 17:1 at its peers. This suggests that the school's success is driven by a highly engaged student body and a strong school culture, as evidenced by its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.2%, which is dramatically lower than the district average of 25.6% and a fraction of the rates at nearby schools like Overlea High (44.8%) and Dundalk High (49.4%).

Eastern Technical has a long-term track record of excellence, consistently ranking in the top 10 schools in Maryland for the last four consecutive years and achieving the #1 ranking in the state in 2012, 2013, and 2014. While the school excels in advanced coursework like Algebra I and II, it has a notable weakness in Geometry, where proficiency is below the state average. Overall, Eastern Technical is an "island of excellence" within its district, offering a specialized curriculum that attracts motivated students from across the area, making it a standout choice for families seeking a high-achieving academic environment.

Great school Close Quote

by a citizen
Tuesday, March 10, 2009

This school I would perceive to be an excellent school. I am a student and I am amazed at how well they perform in their areas of citizenship, scholarship, and academics. We have maintained a high standered in all the criteria a high school wants to see and even more. Throughout the extensive course we have made a large constant improvement and maintained the honor of the school. Close Quote
