The school does a great job at getting students ready for college and there is some clubs available that are very useful like USC Trio, UCLA EAOP, etc. South East also has a handful of supporters like certain teachers or counselors. One thing the school can work on is the funding for sports, clubs etc, and some teachers who aren't as great.

Overall the school is very nice, but there's a lot of cyberbullying so students need to be very careful of their surroundings. There are also time where this is fights among students, and notice some students are high while coming to school.
