The Maine Township HSD 207 district in Illinois is home to three high schools: Maine South High School, Maine West High School, and Maine East High School. Based on the data analysis, Maine South High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Illinois.

It has the highest graduation rate at 95.8% and the lowest dropout rate at 0.9% among the three schools. Additionally, Maine South outperforms the district and state averages in all test score categories, including SAT Mathematics, SAT English Language Arts, and ISA Science.
In contrast, Maine West High School and Maine East High School have lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, with the exception of ISA Science where they perform better than the state average. These two schools also have higher chronic absenteeism rates, with Maine West at 34.3% and Maine East at 35.1%, compared to Maine South's 23.6%. The disparities in performance and resource allocation, as evidenced by the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, suggest that the district may need to address these inequities to ensure more equitable outcomes for all students.
