The school year runs from September to June. School days are 8:00 to 2:00. The day is split up into sixteen 'mods', or 20 minute blocks of time. There are five minutes between each class, and each class takes up 2 mods. Lab sciences take up 3 mods 2, 3, or 5 days a week, depending on the difficulty of the class.
The Maine Learning Result assessments were replaced by Bangor 'OnTrack' assessments, which appear as an endorsement on a student's transcript.
Although Bangor takes students from communities lacking a high school, about 2/3 of the students come from Bangor's two public middle schools: the William S. Cohen School and the James F. Doughty School, each of which enroll approximately 500 students, but James F. Doughty is much better.
