Maine West High School is a nice establishment. Many of the teachers are very passionate about their jobs and their love of teaching, others are not. My time at Maine West has had its ups and downs but, my education and over experiences have made my teenage years unforgettable.

Maine West is honestly a really great school. It offers a well-rounded education experience. Maine West has lots of opportunities and is dedicated to keeping the students engaged. They offer so many AP classes and accelerated classes. There are even opportunities for those who aren't too focused an academics and prefer Fine Arts.

This school was amazing for my daughter but not for my son. My daughter was an athlete and had an outgoing personality. My son was not sports activity person and the school did not do a good job connecting to him. Overall it was a good school.
