Summary

Owings Mills High in Owings Mills, MD, is a public high school serving 1,040 students in grades 9-12 within the Baltimore County Public Schools district, where 62.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Owings Mills High is facing significant challenges that set it apart from nearby schools. Its four-year graduation rate is critically low at 68.4%, which is dramatically lower than neighboring schools like Randallstown High (92.7%), New Town High (92.6%), and Pikesville High (92.6%). The school also has an extremely high dropout rate of 26.3%, more than six times higher than Randallstown High and New Town High. Chronic absenteeism affects 44.4% of students, nearly double the district average and significantly higher than nearby Franklin High (30.6%). In English Language Arts, only 27.9% of students are proficient, far below the district average of 46.1% and schools like Franklin High (53%) and Pikesville High (48.1%).

Despite these struggles, there is one surprising bright spot: Owings Mills High posted a 38.5% proficiency rate in Algebra II, which is higher than the district average (27.4%) and the highest among all Baltimore County schools in the comparison group. However, this contrasts sharply with just 4% proficiency in Algebra I. The school spends $18,539 per student, more than many peers like Franklin High ($16,333) and New Town High ($16,890), yet achieves the worst outcomes in graduation, dropout, and attendance rates. Just a few miles away, Liberty High in Carroll County Public Schools has a 91.5% ELA proficiency rate and a 93.7% graduation rate, highlighting how school performance is heavily influenced by community factors beyond just location.
