It's a relatively good school and learning environment, there is nothing necessarily outstanding about it but it is better than some surrounding counties. It is overall clean and easy to navigate with reasonable rules and regulations. It definitely makes for a good high school experience.

Bacon County High school is a decent school, it's relatively clean has amazing sports teams and the school lunches are bearable. The only problem that occurs is the dress code, attendance records and the lack of funding for certain sports. Diversity in the school athletics and adding volleyball would benefit students greatly.

The teachers are very caring and see as more than a student and almost all of them are willing to chat about school and out of school life.
