Arundel High School is a public high school located in the suburban CPD of Gambrills, Maryland, Anne Arundel County, which lies 15 minutes away from Annapolis, and 30 minutes from both Baltimore and Washington D.C., in the United States.

The school is part of the Anne Arundel County Public School system, and is the primary high school for Gambrills and portions of the Odenton and Crofton areas.[6] Originally, the school was the Anne Arundel Academy, a prestigious one-room private school founded in 1854.[7][8] That institution became Arundel High School in 1926.[9] It is one of the oldest public high schools in the country, and the oldest mainstream public school in the state of Maryland. The current school building was built in 1949 and first occupied in 1950, with additions/renovations in 1966, 1986, 1987, 2006, and 2008.[4]

Size of existing building: 292,177 sq.ft.[4]

Acreage of site: 62.21 acres (Shares site with Arundel Middle)[4]

Arundel High School gathers students from two middle schools in mid-western Anne Arundel County: Arundel Middle School and Crofton Middle School (partial).[22] All students who live in the district for Arundel Middle go on to Arundel High. However, students who live in the district for Crofton Middle may or may not attend Arundel High, depending on their elementary school district. Students in the districts of Crofton Elementary School, portions of Crofton Meadows Elementary School,[23] and Nantucket Elementary School attend Crofton Middle School and then Arundel High School, but students in the districts of Crofton Woods Elementary and Crofton Meadows Elementary attend Crofton Middle School and then South River High School. This reassignment of Crofton Woods and Crofton Meadows from Arundel High to South River High – causing the middle school population to split after 8th grade – was approved by the AACPS Board of Education on March 18, 1998.

The student body is 55.4% White, 23.9% African American, and 8.0% Hispanic.[24] Free and reduced meals are made available to 15.7% of the student population.[24]
