The school 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.
Sparrows Point High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 86th out of 197 high schools in 2017-2018 to 119th out of 146 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is a concern, with significantly lower proficiency rates in mathematics compared to the Baltimore County and Maryland averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (43.98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
Despite these challenges, Sparrows Point High's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate for 10th grade (50.4%) is higher than the Baltimore County Public Schools (47.5%) average, though still lower than the Maryland (55.3%) average. The school's spending per student ($12,934) is in line with the typical spending per student in Maryland public schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 16.4 is slightly higher than the national average. Overall, the data suggests that Sparrows Point High could benefit from a focus on improving its mathematics and Algebra proficiency rates, as well as addressing any underlying factors that may be contributing to the school's declining ranking and rating.
