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 my time at Arundel high school as i made many of my friends that i still talk to this day and have built great bonds and relationships with many of the faculty. Overall i wouldn't have wanted to attend any other high school than Arundel.

As a student attending this school for 3 years, I think the teachers are kind and supportive. There is a plenty of courses you can take, also tones of clubs. However, the facility is a bit old. Things, like toilet, A/C ,etc..., often get broken.

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...
