Howard High School

Excellent school! I have a senior and freshman presently enrolled. Very strong academic and athletic programs, particularly happy with the career academies at the ARL. My older son is already taking the principles of accounting at the local community college this year and will complete an internship at an accounting firm next semester as part of the Finance Academy, an outstanding college prep curriculum. Great teachers, great administration and a no-nonsense approach have made for a great experience. Top-notch Howard County school!

SEVERELY OVERCROWDED!!!!! Howard is a good school, except there are 2,000 students in a school built for 1,450. Howard County BOE's made a Huge Mistake in voting to put High School 13 (currently set to open in 2013) in Jessup instead of Elkridge, where the population in Howard County is. Also Howard High bus schedule has students on buses at 6:30 am to get to a school that open far to early at 7:20. This could be a great school, has some good and great teachers, solid extra circulars but severe overcrowding and the ridiculously early bus and start times make it a poor choice for students.

Parent of a current sophomore and a freshman. Cannot say enough about this school. The academic choices are fantastic for both my overly intellectual child and my sports enthusiast. The leadership, teachers, parents and community work together with passion and enthusiasm for the kids' best interest. FANTASTIC High School!
