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 High School was an amazing environment. My class was very close despite being so large, and we were always encouraged by our teachers.

Overall arundel is a great school, one of the better schools in my county. The opportunity for sports and clubs is great, the school is diverse and classes have high academic value. The food is bad, and the bathrooms are unaccessible but other than that the school is amazing.

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.

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....
