GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I would like to see more college readiness. Administrators are very friendly and are easy to talk to. The school culture and spirit is through the roof and immaculate.

The best part about being here at Southeast is the staff and administration. They care a lot about students here at Southeast and will help out in any way they can to ensure happiness in one. Whether it is a new club someone wants to create or a letter of recommendation that they want them to send off to a college or university they're interested in. They'll always be beside students in need and will ensure they get the assistance need. Homecoming was the worst experience here I would definitely say. Only being at Homecoming for two hours felt too rushed and wasn't really as special as others in the past that my friends experienced. Not having any games to play and enjoy with friends and staff and also not having food but just snacks was also sad.

I started working out at Southeast about 8th grade, they have treated me with very good hospitality, so I decided to go there, I had the option of Springfield High School as well. I have played football for 4 years here. We were not that good, but the experiences I had beat all of that. The food wasn't great, but if you're hungry, you'll eat. The teachers are pretty good people. They all will help you if you need it. don't get me wrong there are a few who wouldn't but they should be okay once you meet them.

Going to Southeast has changed my life in more ways than one. Don't believe the criticism from those who haven't gone here. We show great school spirit and the teachers genuinely want to teach the kids. There are a few bad apples but isn't that true for all schools? Don't believe the hoaxs.

Southeast is a great school! It gets to much negative criticism from outsiders. I have two biracial children who excel in all their classes. And the majority of the teachers and counselor are great!!! This school serves to have a higher rating than a 2!
