Southeast high school has been pretty good so far. I have a great counselor who keeps track of me and communicates with my mom. Academics seem solid although I have not received my AP exam results yet. I have enjoyed my diff classes as well. Go Knights! Knight Power!!

The school seems much more concerned with politics than with academic achievement. Many of the extracurriculars are good, but that's where the focus is.
