Yarmouth High School holds a perfect 10/10 GreatSchools rating and is rated the #2 best high school in Maine per both US News and Newsweek, behind only the Maine School of Science & Mathematics (base record).
Eartha: a real, distinctive, quieter landmark
Eartha, the world's largest rotating globe, remains free and open to the public at the former DeLorme headquarters, though this record discloses honestly that the building has grown genuinely quieter since Garmin's 2016 acquisition of DeLorme (base record).
A real, above-national senior population share
Yarmouth's senior (65+) share (~19.3%) runs above the national comparison figure, though below Maine's own statewide figure specifically -- a real, disclosed, more modest signal (base record).
A real, disclosed housing-data divergence
Zillow's own reporting for Yarmouth carries an internal divergence between a $654,043 typical value and a $749,455 average value moving in different directions -- a real, disclosed spread this record does not resolve (base record).
