Pesco is dead on. The fact is the tax rate that applies to property in any portion of specific school district is the same.

The single greatest input into how much the actual tax bill is for ANY property within Maine Township High School District 207 is the assessor's valuation of the property. There are creaky old little ranches in all parts of the district that are assessed at a fraction of the value of the brand new teardowns.

I have helped many people to understand the best value for their tax dollar is almost always to get a less expensive home within the higher performing attendance area...

I will call the district offices and pose this question. I personally know people that have had to pay to get out of Maine East. Things have changed since your days as a MTHS Student.
