Arundel High was ranked 23rd in Maryland, while Old Mill came in 24th.

Maryland touted its top ranking in Advanced Placement scores.
Earlier this week, the state of Maryland touted a recent report from the College Board, ranking students number one in performance on Advanced Placement exams. Maryland students who took the challenging AP exams scored at least a "3" on the exams about 29 percent of the time, placing them first in the nation. (A score of 3 or better on a 5-point scale is generally what is needed in order to qualify for college credit.) These rankings refer to test scores from the 2011-12 school year.
