Perched on Maine’s beautiful coastline, Scarborough is a small city just south of Portland. The ocean, hills, and forests of the region provide endless opportunities for outdoor recreation: fishing, hiking, and skiing are popular here, and there’s even a surf shop in town. Functioning as a mostly residential suburb of the neighboring city, Scarborough’s landscape is defined by tranquil neighborhoods spread amongst the lush forests.
Rental options come in a broad variety of options, with numerous upscale houses and condos available from the center of town out into the surrounding countryside. In addition to the close proximity to Portland, living in Scarborough provides easy access to Interstate 95 and Portland International Jetport, making it a perfect spot for frequent travelers.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
