Summary

Southeast High is a Wichita district high school in Wichita, Kansas, serving grades 9–12 and 2,066 students. In 2025–26, 21% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 10% in math, and 16% in science. The most important concern is that the school’s proficiency was below both district and state results in all three subjects, with math the weakest.

Science is the school’s relative bright spot, while math is furthest behind. Compared with the Wichita district, Southeast was 6 points lower in science, 9 points lower in ELA, and 11 points lower in math; its gaps to the state were 22, 25, and 31 points, respectively. It also trailed the nearby comprehensive high school averages by 10 points in science, 15 in ELA, and 23 in math. Among those schools, Southeast ranked third-lowest in science and math and second-lowest in ELA. SchoolDigger placed it at the 8th statewide percentile, 314th of 340 schools, with 0 stars—above nearby West High and South High, but below East High and the nearby Andover schools.

Scores have improved since 2022–23, but the school’s state gap has widened in ELA and math. ELA rose 10 points and math 3, while science rose 8 points and narrowed its state gap by 1 point. Chronic absenteeism fell 11 points overall from 2022–23 to 2025–26, though it has risen 4 points over the last two reported years; the latest rate was 42%, compared with 30% districtwide and 18% statewide. Context measures include a student–teacher ratio of 16.8 and a free/reduced-lunch rate of 79%. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup ranking is notably stronger for English Language Learner students, at the 67th percentile versus the school’s overall 8th percentile. Its Special Education student ranking has instead fallen from the 20th percentile in 2023–24 to the 4th in 2025–26.
