While Maine North High School was no longer a fully-functioning high school at the time of filming, the school was in use as the Alternative Resource Center (A.R.C.) for High Schools Maine West (also in Des Plaines), Maine South, and Maine East (both of Park Ridge, Illinois). Students that were a chronic disciplinary problem, considered to be unruly or disruptive to the learning process of others, would find themselves at Maine North every day, as an alternative to expulsion, or other disciplinary measures. Maine Township still conducts the A.R.C., now in Morton Grove, Illinois, with a goal of providing a structured environment with positive reinforcement for appropriate behavior.
