Summary:

Maine East High School is a public high school located in Park Ridge, Illinois, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,808 students. The school is part of the Maine Township High School District 207, which is ranked 183 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Maine East High School has shown a mixed performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in SAT Mathematics (23.8%) and SAT English Language Arts (34.7%) were lower than the district (32.6% and 42.5%) and state (26.1% and 31.1%) averages, its proficiency rate in ISA Science (60.6%) was higher than the state average (53.2%) but lower than the district average (64.4%). The school's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with some improvements in certain subject areas. Notably, male students generally outperform female students, and Asian and African American students have relatively lower rankings compared to other subgroups.

While Maine East High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.1% to 93.3% in recent years, and a low dropout rate, it has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 24.2% in 2019-2020 to 35.1% in 2023-2024. This is higher than the state average and indicates a potential area of concern for the school. Compared to its neighboring schools, Glenbrook South High School and Maine South High School, which are both ranked higher in the state, Maine East High School generally performs lower, suggesting opportunities for improvement by learning from the practices of its higher-performing counterparts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
