Dulaney High School

History

Built in the early 1960s, the school graduated its first senior class in 1965. As of 2015, Dulaney had reported a total enrollment of 1,851 students. The school is accredited by the state of Maryland and is a member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling. There were 186 faculty members in the 2015–2016 school year.

Various proposals to renovate or replace the school building were made in 2016 and 2017. County officials budgeted $40 million in 2017 to renovate and air condition the facility, but the plan was rejected when parents contended that an entirely new school should instead be considered. In response, the then-County Executive proposed that the fiscal year 2019 budget include planning for a new high school to ease overcrowding at Dulaney and other area high schools.

Academics

Dulaney High school received a 65.8 out of a possible 100 points (65%) on the 2018–2019 Maryland State Department of Education Report Card and received a 4 out of 5 star rating, ranking in the 62nd percentile among all Maryland schools.

In Baltimore County, Dulaney offers the highest number of Advanced Placement courses.
