High Schools in Bangor Public Schools

Summary:

The school is a relatively strong performer within the district and the state, ranking 38th out of 119 Maine high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bangor High School's academic performance is above the state averages in English Language Arts (61.25%), Mathematics (48.56%), and Science (41.81%) for the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's proficiency rates in math are notably lower than its ELA performance, suggesting a potential area for improvement. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.2 is slightly lower than the state average, indicating smaller class sizes. Nonetheless, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% for 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, which may be an area of concern.

With a significant population of economically disadvantaged students (37.43% free/reduced lunch), Bangor Public Schools and Bangor High School may face unique challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of their student body. Targeted interventions and resources could be beneficial in addressing these challenges and further improving the school's overall performance.
