Maine is the poorest state in the Northeast, and that bright red spot in the southeast is Washington county (where she is from). That, the absence of any real educated enclave (Bangor, Lewiston, and Portland barely qualify) and a culture that de-emphasizes educational achievement might have something to do with the poor SAT scores.
