#2 Best School Districts in Penobscot County
Bangor Public Schools
Sophomore: Public schools are always flawed to some degree, but Bangor Public Schools were decent enough. That sounds pretty lackluster compared to a four-star rating, but I'm comparing it to public schools in general. Its high school has lots of opportunities like Dual Enrollment in some of the local colleges as well as many AP classes, honors, level one, and level two classes. The elementary levels weren't as good, especially with discipline (the group punishment was rampant and caused me a lot of stress and anxiety) but that was a decade ago, so things might have changed.
Another cool feature is that it has free lunches for everyone, regardless of income. Sure, the food isn't amazing, but it's edible and available.
It's school, so it wasn't always fun and was rarely dazzling, but the teachers I've encountered are always willing to help and I always feel prepared for the tests and for life beyond the school system. The Bangor Public School system is a good, sound choice.... Read 22 reviews
