GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It's a great and tolerant rural high school, academics are at high-standard but the teachers themselves aren't strict.

The best part about Bangor High School would have to be the teachers and the students who try to make school as comfortable for everyone as possible. The teachers are not only good at their job, but they are also amazing people when you need someone to talk to. They offer a wide variety of classes and electives that are so much fun. The athletic and music departments are equally important in the school and everyone supports everyone.

The bullying problem in this school has not gotten better at all, as I've seen a friend get picked on by an entire class of about 100 students, then get written up for not being...
