Summary:
The 62311 zip code is home to a single public high school, Southeastern Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and has a total enrollment of 203 students.

Southeastern Junior/Senior High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and student outcomes. The school's four-year graduation rate of 78.4% is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.1% is higher than the state average. Standardized test scores at the school are generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.7% to 44.6% across different subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (64.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,888, which is above the state average, its academic performance remains below par. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and that other factors, such as resource allocation and instructional practices, may need to be examined. The school's performance on the SchoolDigger ranking system has also fluctuated significantly over the past few years, going from a high of 4 stars in 2021-2022 to just 1 star in 2022-2023, further indicating the challenges the school is facing.
