Arundel High School

So far my experience at Arundle has been great but the the overall sanitation needs to be better. I have found roaches and mice in corner of rules there's even a roach in a camera. The bathroom are often out of soap and paper towels and the feminine hygiene product dispensers are often empty. But they do have them in the School store, you don't have to pay for them. The teachers I have experienced are nice and understanding and interact with the class often and actively try to help students when they are struggling with their grades.

I grew up in a small town in PA and had a great high school experience. I was worried my kids would be anonymous at this big suburban school but I have been really pleased with the community this school fosters. The school spirit is great! There is a diversity of opportunities from AP classes to technical training that allows every kid to forge their own path to a productive future. There are so many sports and clubs that pretty much any kid can find their niche. We have been pleased and look forward to many more years at the school for our kids.

really good school, would highly recommend for new people

Arundel is a great high school. When we moved to the area for our jobs in Fort Meade many years ago, the Arundel HS feeder system was on the very short list of feeders in Anne Arundel County that we included in our house search, which was mostly focused on Howard County. We are extremely happy that we ended up in the Arundel feeder. Our oldest child graduated from Arundel in 2017 and is now in a PhD program after graduating from a very prestigious university last year, and our middle child just graduated from Arundel this year and will be attending UMD in the fall. Our youngest goes to Broadneck High School for the PVA program (which is also an amazing school), but their friends from middle school who go to Arundel High are also doing great. There's plenty of AP classes, clubs, sports, and other activities at Arundel. The teachers are caring and great at doing their jobs. Being located near Washington DC and a hub of government jobs in Fort Meade, Arundel is very diverse, which is something the school prides itself on. Most of the students at Arundel seem to love their school and the school spirit is very strong.

Arundel High is a great high school. AP classes, strong curriculum and good kids. Please don't let the downplayed ratings fool you. I don't know what the source is for the negative reviews but my son attended and was later zoned for the new Crofton Area High school. South Odenton/Crofton is booming! Great area to live in and the same people that own these expensive houses around here also send their kids to Arundel High. The teachers are responsive, involved and they care. High schoolers are high schoolers but the learning opportunities are vast! My son wishes he could go back to this school. He loves the new building that Crofton has to offer but the school is not necessarily better... not bad...just not better. I moved to Crofton area years ago for the schools and was later zoned for the new Crofton High after my son had already attended Arundel. Now, I am planing to move to Odenton as we write just to get him back to that school. Enjoy your time in beautiful south Odenton if you are fortunate to afford to live there. You won't be able to buy there soon with the cost of housing and you certainly won't regret sending your kids to this school if you are able.
