I went here for 2 short months. I was suspended for most of it because the principle and all the staff don't know how to deal with a child having a mental breakdown. The second someone starts crying they call the police and make it so it's not there problem. I get that I am not the best student. But they didn't even let me use my 504 plan without giving me a detention or suspension. I was getting threats that 5 guys were going to jump me throughout 2 weeks of that school. I am a girl jsyk. I even had a large strong dude get up in my face and i got suspended and he got away with it.

Bangor doesn't have a lot of money, and what little it does have is not spent wisely. Communication between staff and administration is almost nonexistent, as teachers often find out about major schedule/policy changes at the same time as students. The student body is largely unruly, bigoted, and low-achieving. Hateful language goes unpunished: I have heard rape jokes and threats, casual use of homophobic language between straight kids, and all manner of bigoted language uttered right in front of teachers with no repercussions. The school also changes its mind at the drop of a hat: a new teacher was hired into the high school this year and she has already been told that she will not be coming back next year because she is unnecessary, even though she is one of two teachers of a required class and class sizes are already in the thirties. At the same time, the district is hiring three new teachers. Communication between the school and the Van Buren Technology Center, where many upperclassmen spend half of their day learning a skill, is also minimal as the school will make major schedule changes that affect the students' time at the tech center without any prior warning. -- 2014 grad
