While education is a top priority for parents across the country, in Maine, certain types of education can be particularly costly. From the northern tip of Madawaska to the Piscataqua River Bridge, Mainers share a common goal: providing the best opportunities for our children.

No matter where you live in Maine, there's a shared desire to give our kids the best possible start in life.

That said, the cost of education can vary significantly, creating challenges for some families.

So, who exactly gathered all the tuition data across the Pine Tree State to determine the most expensive high school?

The publication 'alot' compiled a list of 'The Most Expensive High School in Each State,' focusing on tuition costs for the 2023-2024 school year. While most U.S. students attend public high schools at minimal cost, this list highlights just how expensive private education can be.

So, which high school in Maine tops the list for the highest annual tuition?

According to 'alot,' Kents Hill School is the most expensive high school in Maine, with an annual tuition of $63,250. The publication notes:

This high-ticket school values the connection that its students have to each other, their surroundings, and their faculty and mentors on campus. They want a family-like atmosphere with the people who live, study, and work there, and they do that by prioritizing not only academics but also personal growth. L.L. Bean's founder is an alum, and maybe this school’s emphasis on the outdoors influenced that company. The $63,250 per year tuition is pretty influential, no matter how you spin it.
