#1 Best School Districts in Penobscot County
Niche User: This school is academically very strong. The teachers and staff impact the kids academically and strengthen them, by exploring different ideas, and sharing intelligence with each other. It's also not a huge school, so everyone knows one another, and it's easy to get one on one time with many teachers.

#2 Best School Districts in Penobscot County
Senior: Bangor Public Schools are slightly above average academically across the board. There are numerous opportunities for students to take higher level classes starting in elementary school, and plenty of after school activities to get involved in as well. I would like the respect for the fine arts community, especially concerning funding, to increase. The high school's music and art programs are fantastic, but, particularly the music program, receive little to no funding. This needs to change. The level of respect from administration, particularly at the high school, to students also needs to increase.

#4 Best School Districts in Penobscot County
Senior: Hermon High School prepares students for college, it is the initial and final goal for everyone who goes here. Whether it be extracurricular, or sport-like you are often to find many friends. Unlike the middle school people and teachers welcome you with open arms, and treat you nicely.

The teachers here are sweet, caring, confident, and teach others in ways that everyone can understand. Those who are struggling can often go to them for help, and are available everyday except Wednesday in which they have a staff meeting.

The school allows its students to apply so they can be apart of UTC (United Technologies Center). This center prepares you for a career in the future if you are not wanting to go to college, and works with the school for planned absences or arrival times.

Alum: Old Town High School is a great high school it helps develop individual skills of each students abilities and offers students who wish to challenge themselves academically to do so in higher level classes. It also encourages those who wish to learn a trade by partnering with programs that offer training in trades for course credits. Over all Old Town High School was a very good school and i would recommend it over the other schools anywhere around.

Brewer Public Schools

Brewer, ME

Alum: I think that Brewer High School provided a large amount of opportunities for me. I think that unfortunately, the school is a bit under funded and that meant that academically it wasn't the best, but the sports department gets good funding and there are many extracurriculars.

Newport, ME

Parent: Since my son switched to this school last year not only have I seen such amazing improvement with him in every aspect but his teachers this year have noticed the huge change as well. I cannot express how greatful I am to all the teachers at this school that go above and beyond for these kid(especially mine)even if it's not easy day and get no credit for the amazing hard work they put in to our children to teach them so they can grow into hard working good people and most teachers spend out of pocket for classroom supplies. I'm very happy I can say that myself and now my son is apart of rsu #19. No matter how hard times get our community and students and teachers rally together and that's what makes our schools great and our children to grow up into wonderful adults. Thank you Newport Plymouth teachers n staff for all you do for our kiddos and never expect reward or praise you do it because you love our kiddos in your classroom like your own.

Parent: LSAS offers a very challenging, yet inclusive and welcoming, experience for students who have intellectual curiosity and take learning seriously, while being respectful of, and caring for, one another. The teachers are excellent and well-loved among the students. Highly recommend this school for all high-achieving students who really care about their studies and want to be prepared for college-level work and independence.
