Summary

Southeastern Junior High School in South Charleston, OH, is a small school of 101 students in grades 7–8, part of the Southeastern Local district in a small-town/rural area near Springfield. It ranks 393rd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–2026 — 62nd percentile, 3 stars — and it outranks its own district. The catch is direction: in 2021–2022 it was in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars, so it has slipped 21 percentile points over four reporting cycles. Families should see it as solidly mid-pack locally but trending downward.

Instruction is sharply split. Eighth-grade ELA is a real strength at 71.2% proficient — above the state and the best among nearby 7th/8th-grade schools — and 7th-grade math is also above state. But 8th-grade math (48.5%) and 8th-grade science (57.6%) both fall below Ohio averages. The Algebra I End-of-Course result (96.2%) looks outstanding, though it reflects a small accelerated group, not broad 8th-grade math strength. Compared with Mechanicsburg Middle School, Southeastern trails badly in 8th-grade math and science, while Madison-Plains Junior High is its closest overall peer with an inverted profile: stronger science, lower absenteeism, weaker ELA. It also outperforms Greenon Junior High School and the Springfield City School District middle schools on ELA.

The biggest warning sign is chronic absenteeism, which more than doubled from 12.0% in 2022–2023 to 25.0% in 2025–2026 — now worse than the district’s 18.3% and worse than most mid-tier peers. Subgroup results raise equity questions: male students fell from the 72nd to 56th percentile in two years, while female students held at 65th; low-socioeconomic-status students dropped from 62nd to 41st percentile. The school has the smallest classes and highest per-pupil spending in its peer set, but its student–teacher ratio has risen from 5.8 to 12.6 in three years. Bottom line: Southeastern is upper-middle of the local pack, clearly stronger than Springfield’s city middle schools, but its trend line — especially absenteeism and 8th-grade math/science — points the wrong way while some neighbors hold steady or improve.
