Summary:
The Anne Arundel County Public Schools district in Maryland is home to 14 high schools that vary in size, student demographics, academic performance, and other key metrics. The district's high schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are located in a diverse suburban area near the Chesapeake Bay.
The standout schools in the district are Broadneck High School, which is consistently ranked among the top high schools in Maryland, and Severna Park High School, which is ranked 5th out of 146 Maryland high schools for the 2023-2024 school year. These schools have exceptional academic performance, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the schools in the data set. Another strong performer is Crofton High School, a relatively new school that has quickly established itself as a top-performing institution in the district.
The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Meade High and Annapolis High, tend to have lower proficiency rates on standardized tests. Additionally, the racial diversity of the student populations varies significantly across the schools in the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which could be an area for further investigation.
