Best High Schools in Maine
(2026 List)

Maine has a great, supported graduation rate that reflects its dedication to providing students with an excellent education through applied learning. Maine achieves an all-time high on-time graduation rate of approximately 89%. This success originates from a strong integration of academic regularity with a growing number of career and technical education programs (now serving 11,000+ students) across the state. BARR and through-year assessments reinforce holistic growth and outcomes as opposed to simply measuring achievement through testing. In addition to chronic absenteeism, the top high schools in Maine have been recognized nationally for their efforts to support academic achievement and assist in providing clear pathways for post-secondary opportunities for their students by blending rigor and student supports together with strong opportunities for post-secondary advancement.
