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.

Throughout my years being at Arundel it has been a huge roller coaster because of all the relationships that I've made whether it was with my peers or with teachers. Being a wildcat as a whole is amazing not only because of the people inside the building but every community that's connected with Arundel. It makes it feel like a huge family that really helps one another no matter the situations or drama going on inside the building. Overall a well experience on my own behalf.

I enjoyed the vibes at the school. At least one sport was good per season, so it was nice to have that atmosphere of fun sport events to go to. One thing I didn't like was the food. I wouldn't blame it on the school more the county. Some days there was really good food and others where I could barley finish it.

the water fountain's water was completely untrustworthy, it was even yellow at one point. the bathrooms also got shut down a lot. the school walls were decorated by the art kid students though which was a nice personalized touch for the school

The final year at this school with the new principle is the absolute worst. Once Kimberly Winterbottom is out of office maybe I would recommend this school in the future.

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. My first impression of Arundel was that the building is incredibly old and in dire need of a replacement. I was shocked, considering how affluent of...

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....
