Summary:
The Southeast Local school district in Ohio serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district has a mix of high-performing and average-performing schools, with Waynedale High School standing out as a top-ranked school in the state.
Waynedale High School has consistently ranked among the top 20% of Ohio high schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has particularly strong performance in end-of-course exams, with over 80% proficiency in subjects like American Government, American History, and Biology. The high school also boasts an impressive 98.8% 4-year graduation rate. In contrast, the elementary schools in the district show more variation in their performance, with Fredericksburg Elementary and Apple Creek Elementary performing well on many metrics, while Mount Eaton Elementary and Holmesville Elementary had lower test scores and rankings.
Across the district, there are some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7% and the variation in spending per student, ranging from $8,309 at John R Lea Middle School to $11,275 at Fredericksburg Elementary. Additionally, the large range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 23.6% to 52.5%, suggests there may be socioeconomic disparities between the school communities that could be an area for further investigation.
