Everything is fairly decent until advisory lessons. The school would constantly push their ideology onto students, indoctrinating them, and should students dare disagree the student is for some reason crazy! Focus on learning not indoctrinating

They don’t have a lot of bells and whistles when it comes to extra curricular activities but they are only K-5. Kids at that age don’t need a lot to be happy and the sprinkled events they do have during the school year are enough. For example, fall fest, glow party, open houses, international night, etc. I love the diversity of the school. My daughter is a 2nd generation native Spanish speaker and is a part of the Dual Language program — 70% of her current instruction is in Spanish. My daughter is bilingual and her growth in reading Spanish has been amazing. The teachers are so supportive and nice. My daughter comes home every day ecstatic about school, what she's learning and friends. She is only in 1st grade and hope things don't change.

I personally enjoyed my time here. I thought most of my teachers were able to effectively teach course content and support me when needed. I enjoyed the different extracurricular programs here, and overall had a great high school experience. Of course, no school is perfect, but I do believe Maine East does very well and provides many opportunities for students to learn, grow, and prepare for life. I had never feared for my safety at school and enjoyed learning from the different cultures and perspectives that made Maine East unique.
