Summary:
Southeastern Local is a small, rural Ohio district serving about 680 students across three schools — Miami View Elementary School (PK–6, 412 students), Southeastern Junior High School (7–8, 101 students) and Southeastern Senior High School (9–12, 167 students) — and the district itself ranks 391st of 773 Ohio districts (49th percentile, 2 stars).
Look school by school, and the picture is stronger than that district label suggests. The junior high is the district's academic standout: it has earned 3 stars in each of the last three years, its ELA results beat the state in both grades in both years, and its Algebra I End-of-Course scores — 96.2% proficient in 2025‑26 and 100% in 2024‑25, against state rates of 61.6% and 59.4% — are the most striking numbers in the data. Miami View Elementary also clears the state in most ELA grades, posted 4th-grade math at 83% versus the state's 67.3%, and has the lowest chronic absenteeism of the three (16.3%). Southeastern Senior High has a genuine flagship in Geometry (61.4% versus 43.3% statewide, and 71.1% versus 42.8% the prior year) plus a 100.0% graduation rate, but it is the only school trending down: its rank fell from the 70th percentile with 4 stars to the 45th percentile with 2 stars, five of six End-of-Course subjects declined, and its Algebra I results (50% and 25%) sit well below the state.
Three practical points for families. Chronic absenteeism climbs to 25.0% at the junior high — 6.7 points above the district's 18.3% — even though that school's academics are strong. Free/reduced lunch runs 38.11% at the elementary and 64.67% at the high school, a 26.6-point gap, while the junior high figure is not reported and should be treated as unknown. And with roughly 42–55 students per grade, one student can move a score by about 2 percentage points, so single-year swings are directional rather than definitive.
