This school is horrible for kids who are in any way out of the ordinary. If your learning style is different, this school will not help you. If you are special ed, you will be bullied. If you don’t look typical, you will be bullied. If you are not involved in sports, you will be bullied. It’s simply not a safe environment for students who don’t meet specific “standards.” I had three children in the system, and they all suffered greatly. Avoid if you have a choice.

School is okay at best. The fact they had to shut down because too many people got sick. Yet told me I was being too worried about covid is rich. They fail to work with people with medical problems during this pandemic. The teachers are fine and underpaid but not worth it with all the fights and just overall bad aspects of the school

I have 2 children attending the high school. We have attended many different school districts due to the military, but so far this one has been the best. My son is a special education student and I have never seen such progress in all his years of schooling. They know what he needs and how to meet those needs. My daughter is harder and caught up in the drama at school, but the admin team was always willing to work with me to get her set on the right path.

I'm a sophomore here now, and I'm still loving it. A few people have described Bonny Eagle as "the worst school in maine", which I couldn't disagree with more. While it isn't a perfect school, it is in no way inadequate or bad. There's a wide variety of honors and AP classes, as well as plenty of fun and useful elective classes. True, a lot of money is put towards the football team, but there is also funding towards other activities. As for the arts program, it's amazing. The band and theatre programs are fantastic. Our administration has improved greatly as well. All the students get along with them, and they really make an effort to get to know the students on a personal level and connect with them to better help them with their education. Over all, Bonny Eagle High School is an amazing school, and I'm very proud to be a student here.

I do not go to this school but I have friends who go here and it is regarded by them as one of the worst if not the worst school in the state. They say that the school caters only to sports and doesn't address social issues such as bullying and hazing. People in this school have lost funding and representation as a school from the State of Maine and have to have a student daycare center for student parents. This school is regarded as awful statewide.

Bonny Eagle's just as good as any other school in Maine. Yes, we don't have a lot of money, but that at least partially stems from being in such a rural area. There's a wide range of courses offered, and plenty of AP opportunities. My only complaint would be the lack of funding towards band, chorus, and drama. Also, to the person who said the school board funds Quest Club (for Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, etc.), if they are, I'd quite like to see this money because I'm a founding member of the current Quest Club and we don't get anything like that. It's just a place to go after school and play table-top games with friends.

I believe the new administration is doing great and I am just sorry that it did not happen before now, now we they should just weed out a few of the secretaries that have bad attitudes and do not treat teachers and parents with courtousy that they themselves would expect. I think we are seeing more a balance between a great education and keeping within a budget with such a large district it is hard to keep every town happy, so you will have some complaints. They are going in the direction of STEM but I would like ot see this progress faster since this is where I think the future is going.
