GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Arundel has been a great experience overall however from my experience, I would change club participation. While students are encouraged to join a club, it's not mandatory. I would probably suggest that joining at least 1 club (no matter they type) be mandatory as this wouldn't take time away from hanging with friends and help with meeting people outside their social circles.

Overall, I feel like my high school has done everything in their power to prepare me as much as they can for my future. Never once, have I felt that I needed help and couldn't go to one of my teachers. Every teacher that I have had an encounter with has put effort towards understanding my learning style, give me access to as many resources as they can, and most of all understood that I am human just as they are. Even during some of my hardest times, they've helped me to get through it and have offered more grace than most people normally would have.

We moved here from Rockville because we were attracted to the rankings of this school and its feeder schools, as well as the reasonable commute to DC.

Arundel High School is a good school but sadly I feel it lacks in many categories, mainly the quality of the actual learning environment feels old and dirty, the actual building is so old it doesn't have the modern features of newer high schools. In addition, while the academics are good, teachers a...

This is the 4th best high school in the county. It is extremely overcrowded. If your child is not motivated they will get passed along regardless of grade points average. There is a range of backgrounds in this school. There is equity placement at the school so there are physical altercations daily....

the teachers/admin only care about you unless you play a sport or a kid who is loud and obnoxious because they don't get enough attention at home. Diversity is the only good thing about this school. So glad to be out of that place.
