Summary

Southeast High School is a public high school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving 848 students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and graduation rates that are generally lower than the state and district averages.

Southeast High School's performance on state assessments (OSTP) is significantly below the Oklahoma City and state averages across all subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10% of Southeast High School students were proficient or better in OSTP Mathematics for 11th grade, compared to 18% for the state and 7% for Oklahoma City. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 70.3% to 98.4% in recent years, which is generally lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, Southeast High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.7% to 38.8% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Douglass High School, Del City High School, and Capitol Hill High School, all have similar low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the challenges faced by Southeast High School are not unique but rather systemic within the Oklahoma City School District. In contrast, Westmoore High School, located outside the Oklahoma City School District, has significantly higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism, and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
