Summary

Southeast High School is a public high school located in Bradenton, Florida, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 1,641 students. The school is part of the Manatee School District, which is ranked 41 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Southeast High School consistently underperforms compared to the Manatee district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 25% of students were proficient or better in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 61% in the Manatee district and 60% statewide. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 29% to 44% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Southeast High School has a four-year graduation rate of around 89%, which is on par with the Manatee district and the state average, but lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools like Braden River High School and Manatee High School.

The data suggests that Southeast High School has a higher proportion of students from low-income families, with 59% to 66% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these underlying issues could be crucial in improving the overall outcomes for the school and providing a better educational experience for its students.
