Maine Central School, also known as J. Ralph Ingalls School, is an historic school building located at Maine in Broome County, New York.

It was built in 1940 and is a substantial two-story, nearly square building. It has a steel frame structural system, clad in red brick over concrete block and limestone trim.

It features a low hipped roof crowned by a multi-stage cupola with a Chippendale-inspired balustrade in the Colonial Revival style. The main block is organized around a center entrance within a monumental two-story, three-bay projecting wooden portico.

The school was built in part with funds provided by the PWA—Public Works Administration.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
