Summary:
The city of Diamond, Ohio has a single public middle school, Southeast Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8 and has a total enrollment of 353 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with strong academic performance in certain subjects like Science, Math, and Algebra I, but lags behind district and state averages in English Language Arts, particularly in 8th grade.
Southeast Junior High School's performance has been declining in recent years, with its ranking dropping from 266 out of 1,017 Ohio middle schools in 2021-2022 to 514 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024, and its school rating decreasing from 4 out of 5 stars to 3 out of 5 stars. This decline may be partly attributed to the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.8%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, the school does have a diverse student population, with small percentages of African American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American students, which could provide opportunities for a more inclusive learning environment.
Overall, Southeast Local district, which includes Southeast Junior High School, has shown mixed academic performance, with the middle school outperforming district and state averages in some subjects but underperforming in others. The district and school will need to address the issues of declining rankings, high chronic absenteeism, and lagging English Language Arts scores to ensure that all students receive a high-quality education.
