Southeastern High School

Summary:

Southeastern High School is a public high school in Chillicothe, Ohio, serving 263 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Pike County Area district, which is ranked 228 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Southeastern High School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average on Ohio State Tests across various subjects, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, and Algebra I. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 89.2% to 98.5% over the past few years, which are above the state average. Additionally, Southeastern High School's low-income student population performs exceptionally well compared to other schools in the state, ranking 138 out of 822 Ohio high schools for low-income student performance with a 4-star rating.

However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 337 out of 769 Ohio high schools in 2013-2014 to 215 out of 864 in 2023-2024, suggesting that other schools in the state are improving at a faster rate. Southeastern High School also faces a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, from 11.9% in 2019-2020 to 33.2% in 2022-2023. Compared to nearby schools like Vern Riffe Career Technology C and Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center, Southeastern High School serves a more homogeneous and economically advantaged student population, with a significantly higher percentage of white students and lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
