Summary:
The Southeast Of Saline area has two schools serving preschool through grade 12: Southeast Saline Elementary serves PK–6, and Southeast Saline High serves grades 7–12. Because they cover different grades, their all-grades results are not direct same-grade comparisons. The most important takeaway is that strengths depend on the subject: Elementary leads in ELA, while High stands out in science.
In 2025–26, Elementary had the higher all-grades ELA result, at 54% compared with High’s 44%—a 10-point gap—and a small lead in math, 47% to 45% (2 points). High led in science, 56% to Elementary’s 43%, a 13-point difference. Against Kansas results, Elementary was 8 points higher in ELA and 6 points higher in math; High was 17 points higher in science. Grade-level results add useful detail: Elementary was below the state in grade 5 ELA (41% versus 51%) and grade 5 math (29% versus 45%), while High’s science was above the state in both reported grades—62% in grade 8 and 50% in grade 11, versus 39% and 30% statewide.
Recent changes were mixed, with the clearest shared concern in math: both schools fell about 2 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while the state rose 2 points. Science fell more sharply—21 points at Elementary and 9 at High—though both schools’ latest results remained above the state overall. ELA improved 3 points at Elementary and was nearly unchanged at High. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings place High 42nd of 340 schools (88th percentile, 4 stars) and Elementary 271st of 657 (59th percentile, 3 stars). Both schools’ chronic absenteeism was below the state’s 18%: 6% at Elementary and 11% at High. Their student–teacher ratios are 12.9 and 10.8, respectively, and their free/reduced-lunch rates are about 31% and 30%; these are context, not explanations for test results.
