Summary

Southeast Middle is a public middle school located in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 469 students. The school is part of the Hazelwood School District, which is ranked 319 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Southeast Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Missouri middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 400-565 out of around 550-600 schools.

Southeast Middle faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 38.2% to 60.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of the nearby North Middle, Central Middle, and East Middle schools in the Hazelwood district. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 3-10% of students proficient in Math and ELA, compared to state averages of 32.7-45.5%.

Despite the low performance, Southeast Middle spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $10,092 to $12,178 per student over the past few years. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to drive student achievement. Addressing the challenges faced by Southeast Middle will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that targets the root causes of the school's underperformance and leverages the available resources effectively.
