Arundel High School is a public high school located in Gambrills in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
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.[2] Originally, the school was the Anne Arundel Academy, a prestigious one-room private school founded in 1854.[3][4] That institution became Arundel High School in 1926.[5] The current school building was built in 1949 and first occupied in 1950, with additions in 1966, 1985, and 2006.

Students
Attendance
At the close of the 2008-2009 school year, 2,095 students were enrolled at Arundel High School.[6]
Arundel High School gathers students from two middle schools in mid-western Anne Arundel County: Arundel Middle and Crofton Middle (partial).[7] 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 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.
