Summary

Southeast Junior High School is a 334-student middle school in Diamond, Ohio, serving grades 6–8 as part of Southeast Local. In 2025–2026 it ranked 546th of 1,046 schools statewide — the 48th percentile with 2 stars — after peaking at the 74th percentile with 4 stars in 2021–2022. The district ranks 410th of 773 Ohio districts (47th percentile, 2 stars). Locally, Southeast trails Western Reserve Middle School (93rd percentile), Jackson-Milton Middle School (90th), and West Branch Middle School (90th), placing it mid-to-lower among nearby middle schools.

Academics are mixed. Eighth-grade science and math are real strengths: science proficiency was 70.5% versus Ohio’s 61.2%, and math 8 was 60.5% versus 52.0%. Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency was 92.0%, though that often reflects a selected group of students. Seventh-grade math is the clearest red flag, at 32.0% against the state’s 48.6%, after falling from 53.6% in 2023–2024. English language arts is below state in grades 6, 7, and 8, at 49.5%, 55.9%, and 47.3%, respectively. Compared with nearby schools, Southeast’s 7th-grade math is near the bottom, with only Brown Middle School lower at 18.6%.

Chronic absenteeism is high at 28.7%, above the district’s 26.1% and higher than most nearby schools except Brown Middle School and Newton Falls Junior High School. Subgroup results show uneven effectiveness: female students rank at the 40th percentile and male students at the 49th; special education students at the 41st percentile, low-income students at the 45th percentile, and gifted students at the 58th percentile in 2023–2024. The school’s per-student spending was $10,755 in 2018–2019, higher than several higher-performing nearby districts, though that figure is old. Overall, Southeast has genuine strengths in 8th-grade science and math but clear challenges in 7th-grade math, ELA, attendance, and its recent rank decline.
