Marin Takes The Rest Of The Country To School

Ever wonder why people pay so much to live in Marin County? There are plenty of reasons. Too many to list here. One of the biggest is the public school system. But are you getting your money's worth? As it turns out, yes! And then some.

A recent article in Forbes examined "per-pupil spending in public schools and weighed it against student performance--college entrance exam scores (SAT or ACT, depending on which is more common in the state), exam participation rates and graduation rates." Guess which schools ranked highest. If you guessed Marin, you're right. (Maybe you went to school there, too, smartypants.)
