  1. #1 Best Public High Schools in Anne Arundel CountySeverna Park High SchoolAnne Arundel County Public Schools, MD•9-12•Rating 3.83 out of 5 500 reviewsSenior: As a high school senior at Severna Park High School, my overall experience has been both enriching and challenging. The school provides a dynamic environment with diverse academic opportunities, extracurricular activities, and a strong sense of community. One of the best parts of my experience has been the quality of the teachers and the support they provide.

Although the academics and STEM classes are great, the teachers are more of a mixed bag. You'll either find some you like or some you don't. The bathrooms are also not the best, with some not even being open.

All of the faculty is motivational and there are opportunities for all interests. I have always had supportive teachers who were willing to help, and a very positive experience on the cheer team which I consider my second family. A big part of who I am today is the people I have met at this school. The only thing that I would change is the flow of information from the school to the students.

  5. #4 Best Public High Schools in Anne Arundel CountyChesapeake Science Point Public Charter SchoolAnne Arundel County Public Schools, MD•6-12•Rating 3.59 out of 5 54 reviewsSenior: In my time at Chesapeake Science Point, I discovered that my peers made a significant difference. I formed numerous friendships and learned a great deal from them. The school boasts an outstanding academic system with dedicated teachers. Despite its small size, accommodating no more than 700 students in grades 6-12, I had an enjoyable experience. The limited number of students does hinder our ability to actively compete in sports with larger schools. I encountered this challenge while participating in sports such as JV Basketball, Varsity Soccer, and Varsity Track and Field. However, this does not define the school in its entirety. Despite not having the most robust sports programs, CSP provides an excellent environment for academic and social growth, thanks to its exceptional education system and diversity....

I personally can see my growth over the past 4 years within myself and education. I have had the Privilege to form life long relationships and resources through Arundel.

Within that class I was able to have mock interviews with real employers , set up a linked in profile to get more connected with people in fields that I’m interested in and helped my community such as prom drives and shelter work. Through Arundel’s clubs I have grown my character. As one of the members of ELC (Equity Leadership Council) I have been able to voice concerns within my schools county. We have hosted open discussions within our school to listen and find ways to help our school be the best it can be. Such as addressing micro aggressions, gender norms , and grading policies.

My teachers are very involved in helping me achieve my goals and my counselor has been a huge help to me. Furthermore, Annapolis High School is the most diverse school I’ve ever attended which is really saying something because I have been to 8 schools! I would like to see much of the schools overall culture change. This school can be violent with fights breaking out in hallways. I would also like the administrators to not feel like prison guards as I know many students feel this way. Lastly, I think teachers and counselors outside of the ib program must be more involved in their students education and career path....

While some things students may say are true, my time at Glen Burnie has actually been quite the opposite. Ever since I transferred over, I’ve had a great time. The teachers are really nice and helpful, the counselors are always there when we need them, and there is so many little things around the school that makes exploring the huge campus worth it.

  23. AACPS Virtual AcademyOnline School•Anne Arundel County Public Schools, MD•3-12•Rating 5 out of 5 1 reviewFreshman: During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was extremely nervous to go back inside of a real school. Everyone getting sick, people passing left and right, food going out of stock, just complete madness. These events happened while I was in 5th grade, and Middle School would be the transition to actually growing up. Becoming responsible. However, most schools were either too far away for my parents to pick me up and drop me off in time or the school buses didn't go to my location. I was then shown a brand new school, Virtual Academy, that my mother proved would be efficient. At first I complied since it was convenient (who doesn't want to go to school in PJs?), but I soon understood what being at school really was.I got to connect with people that I had nothing or everything in common with, including the teachers. I feel valued, respected among my peers, and ultimately understood within my teachers. I am currently a 9th grader in the Virtual Academy, and I don't intend to change that....
