Or you could just answer the question that is being asked on Reddit and save OP a step since, y'know, they're asking here and not on Google. Someone answered with a single word and it took them 5 seconds to type it.

What we do have is some of the highest per pupil costs in the country, despite teacher’s salaries being among the lowest (MEA). This is because we have more administrators per student than anyone else, due in part to small schools and school districts. If the original data is counting administrators as educators that would make sense.

No just Wells to Bar Harbor. Once you hit Ellsworth it will come to a crawl. There is only one bridge onto the island and all roads to that bridge go through Ellsworth and Trenton so all of the cars and campers trying to get on the island make it a slow go.

You don't say how long you will be in Maine. If you are here for a week or two, save yourself the drive to Bar Harbor. If you are here for the summer, put it on the list. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are both beautiful and worth the visit. If you have less time there are plenty of places within a short drive from Wells that are also nice. Explore the lakes region by taking a ride to Naples, ME. Visit Portland. If you are really set on driving up the coast go to Boothbay Harbor.

Wells to Bar Harbor is a good 3+ hours in the summer. If you have to ask, you will probably find it's too cold to swim in July. Go in the late afternoon around high tide if you want somewhat warmer water.
