Summary:
Southeastern CUSD 337 in Illinois has only one high school, Southeastern Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces several challenges, including declining performance, a high percentage of students from low-income families, and attendance issues.
Southeastern Junior/Senior High School has a 78.4% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average. The school also has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 7.1% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 22.8%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's test scores are generally below state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 22.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26.1%.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,888, which is higher than the state average, it continues to underperform. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning and achievement. The district and school leadership should also investigate the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism rate and implement strategies to improve student engagement and attendance.
