The greatness of this school cannot be described in words! Maine East isn't just a "school", it is Home. It's where most students found and still find warmth and solace. Everything-- including students and staff--is phenomenal! The provided opportunities for students are amazing. Bottom line, It's difficult to find a school like Maine East!

This is an awesome school, with a lot of 2nd generation kids. Probably the best kept secret out there (and hopefully will stay that way). Top academic programs and AP opportunities without the clickiness and social pressures that other schools have. It is diverse and that makes it unique or some like to say it "real world." The kids are extremely involved and they go on to some great colleges!

Maine East is a school with a many divers cultures. All of the students are different and most of the time they form groups with people who are culturally similar. I went to this school for two years and I can't say I had lots of fun there. I'm Eastern European and it was hard for me to find the right group where I could fit in since there are not so many other Eastern Europeans there. I feel that if you are from Asia it is easier to find close friends who understand you fully then if you are like me European. Not a lot of people understood me and I didn't always feel comfortable there.
