The 4 Best School Districts in Maine Have Something in Common

We all want the best education for our children and I feel like our public schools are doing a good job of providing that as best they can. But how do our schools rank here in Maine when it comes to quality of education?

Niche is a website tool that helps connect students and families with colleges and schools. For nine years, they’ve ranked public schools across the country with a single metric that combines user feedback, ratings from current students, alumni, and parents, with quantitative data from sources like the U.S. Department of education to assess teachers, resources and facilities, and extracurricular. possibilities of activities.

None of the Maine public schools ranked in the top 5, but Niche has provided a ranking list for Maine schools, and I think you’ll find that the top 4 all have something in common that others schools may not have.

Here are the 4 best school districts in Maine according to Niche:

1. Yarmouth Schools
2. Cape Elizabeth Public Schools
3. Scarborough Public Schools
4. Falmouth Public Schools
Do you understand what they have in common?

Yarmouth, Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough and Falmouth are among the wealthiest towns in Maine. This means that property taxes collected are higher than in many Maine towns, which can equate to better salaries for teachers and a better education system overall.

It makes sense that cities with more money to spend on education appear at the top of the list.
