Summary:
Southeast Local is a four-school district serving about 1,401 students: two elementary schools (grades K–2 and 3–5), one junior high (grades 6–8), and one high school (grades 9–12). As a whole, the district earns 2 stars and ranks 410 of 773 Ohio districts, placing it at the 47th percentile — but that single rating hides wide differences between schools.
Southeast Intermediate Elementary School is the district's clear standout. It is the only school with 3 stars and ranks at the 62nd percentile, up from the 53rd three years ago. Its 3rd and 4th grade math proficiency is more than 20 points above the state, and it has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 12.9%. Southeast High School is more uneven: students do well in American Government (83.5%) and American History (81.7%), and the graduation rate is 95.3%, essentially matching the district. But Algebra I (39.1%) and Geometry (34.2%) fall below the state, and chronic absenteeism is 37.6% — 11.5 points above the district rate.
Southeast Junior High School is also mixed, with an exceptional Algebra I result (92.0%) and solid 8th grade science and math, yet 7th grade math is 32.0% versus the state's 48.6%, and all three ELA grades trail the state. It holds 2 stars at the 48th percentile. Southeast Primary Elementary School serves K–2, so it has no test scores or ranking. Its reported 99.09% free/reduced lunch and 18.7 student-teacher ratio stand out, but without achievement data they cannot be used to judge academics. For families, the most actionable concerns are high school math, high school absenteeism, and junior high ELA and 7th grade math.
