... However, we have high property taxes primarily to pay for the local schools. There are some small towns like Tuftonboro that do not have a school system. Their property taxes are much lower than average in the state....

Whichever school district that the kids attend school at has to get a portion, though, right?

Yes, but Tuftonboro, NH also has multi million dollar houses on the shore of Lake Winnie. So, they pay the bulk of the taxes in that town. Most of those homes are owned by either rich retirees or rich people from out of state.
So, there are very few kids in the school system.
Also, the town next(Wolfeboro)has a private school that many of the rich kids go to.
