Summary:
The 62311 zip code is home to a single high school, Southeastern Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school's performance metrics suggest areas for improvement, particularly in academic achievement and student engagement.
Southeastern Junior/Senior High School has a four-year graduation rate of 89.0%, which is relatively strong, but its dropout rate of 2.4% and chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% indicate challenges in keeping students consistently engaged. Academically, the school's test scores are generally below the state averages, with particularly low proficiency rates in mathematics compared to the Illinois average. The school's spending per student of $15,662 is relatively high, but the low district ranking of 605 out of 811 and 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger suggest these resources may not be translating into optimal outcomes for students.
The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (56.15%) at Southeastern Junior/Senior High School suggests the school serves a population facing significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the lower academic performance observed. Addressing the factors behind the school's chronic absenteeism and improving academic achievement, particularly in mathematics, could be key focus areas for the Southeastern CUSD 337 district to better support the educational needs of its students.
