Bangor High School Reviews
Rating 3.79 out of 5 218 reviews
There are so many passionate, engaged teachers at this school. I have consistently had my asks for help met with enthusiasm and genuine effort, and most are often available after school. The classes are very good, and the selection is incredible considering it's Bangor Maine. The school offers ample opportunities to its students and I feel satisfied with its academic curriculum. I'm keeping it at four stars because the infrastructure is incredibly problematic. We've had construction for approaching three years now. There was a waterfall-like flood down a stairwell in the past month that flooded one of the B-lobbies. the bathrooms are unofficially off-limits to all but the bravest of bladders due to a prevalence of kids hanging out in there to "talk" with the strong smell of cotton candy on more than one occasion. The percentage of the school population who tend to lurk in the bathrooms is small but steadfast and unrelenting. Ending on a positive note: the academics rule!
It is a wonderful school with largely amazing teachers. The STEM program was a great vessel to gain friends and explore my interests. As with many other schools, it is not perfect, as constant student feuds and actions took away from this experience. But, as a whole, it was an enjoyable and memorable experience I will look back on fondly. As for changes, advisory has failed to achieve it's purpose, and would likely be better off just to be removed as a whole.
My experience with Bangor High School was quite unique. With Covid-19 starting in the middle of sophomore year, I didn't get to experience the "normal" high school experience. I didn't have great support there. Teachers weren't very supportive and it felt like they were power-hungry. I attended a technical school for more of my time because I enjoyed the environment more. I connected with a wonderful teacher at United Technology Center in Bangor Maine who inspired me to take advantage of the free college courses I could take. I am now graduating high school with only one year left before I get my associates degree in Business Management.
