About the school

The school is located just northeast of Baltimore City. It is on the inside of the Baltimore Beltway, on Putty Hill Avenue, just west of Harford Road Maryland Route 147, and east of Old Harford Road. Parkville High School at its current location opened in September 1958. The school boundaries border Towson High School, Loch Raven High School, Perry Hall High School, and Overlea High School.[2]

In 2007, Parkville High School was named one of the best 1300 schools in America.[3] An extensive, $40  million renovation project began in 2014 to air condition the building, refurbish the exterior, and remodel much of the interior space.[4]

Parkville has a magnet program for mathematics, science, and computer science. It is also the only high school in Baltimore County and Baltimore City that has German World Language classes.
