Summary

Calvert High is a public high school located in Prince Frederick, Maryland, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,117 students. It is part of the Calvert County Public Schools district, which is ranked 3rd out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Calvert High's performance on MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) tests is generally lower than the Calvert County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland averages, particularly in Mathematics, the school performs better in MCAP English Language Arts. Calvert High has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.8% to 94.8% in recent years, which is comparable to the nearby Patuxent High and Huntingtown High schools. However, the school has experienced a high rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.5% to 31.8% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Calvert High's performance is generally lower than Northern High and Huntingtown High, which have higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts. However, Calvert High's performance is higher than schools outside of the Calvert County Public Schools district, such as Gwynn Park High and Frederick Douglass High in Prince George's County, which have significantly lower test scores and higher dropout rates.
