Summary

Maine East High School is a public high school serving 1,834 students in grades 9-12 in Park Ridge, Illinois. The school is part of the Maine Township High School District 207, which is ranked 124 out of 811 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Academically, Maine East High School's performance on standardized tests is generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in subjects like ACT/English Language Arts (59.7%), ACT/Mathematics (43.4%), and ACT/Science (57.7%) falling below the district's scores. However, the school excels in certain areas, such as PreACT Secure/English Language Arts, where 9th and 10th-grade students scored above the district and state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has remained strong, ranging from 87.7% to 93.6% in recent years, and its dropout rate has been relatively low, between 1.2% and 2.7%.

Compared to neighboring schools within the same district, such as Maine South High School and Maine West High School, Maine East High School's performance is generally lower. However, the school outperforms some nearby schools outside its district, such as Glenbrook South High School, which is a highly-ranked school in the state. The school's diverse student population is a strength, with strong performance for certain subgroups, but the lower performance of Asian and Hispanic students indicates a need to address any underlying factors contributing to the achievement gap.
