High Schools in Southeastern CUSD 337

High schools in Southeastern CUSD 337 consist of one school, Southeastern Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 5–12 and enrolls 182 students. In 2025–26, the school’s all-grades IAR results were below Illinois in both subjects: 46% proficient in English Language Arts, 10 points below the state, and 19% in math, 21 points below. The most important academic concern is math: its statewide gap was 11 points larger than the English Language Arts gap.

There is no meaningful top-or-bottom school comparison in a list of one, but grade-level results show clear variation within the school. Sixth-grade English Language Arts was the standout, with 61% proficient—2 points above the state—while seventh grade was the weakest, at 30%, or 27 points below the state; fifth grade was also low at 31%, 24 points below. The 2025–26 graduation rate was 83%, 7 points below Illinois. Chronic absenteeism was 20%, 3 points lower than the state rate but 3 points higher than the district rate. Because this list contains only one school, it cannot show how the school compares with other nearby schools.

Recent results moved farther from state levels in both IAR subjects: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, school English Language Arts proficiency fell by 6 points as the state rate rose, widening the school’s gap by 9 points; the math deficit widened by 2 points. Science trends differed by test: eighth-grade ISA proficiency fell from 48% to 37%, while eleventh-grade ACT science rose from 26% to 36% and narrowed its gap with the state. SchoolDigger’s rank-history percentile declined from 66 (three stars) in 2023–24 to 32 (two stars) in 2024–25 and 24 (one star) in 2025–26, a 42-point drop.
