Summary:
The Southeastern CUSD 337 district in Illinois serves two schools: Southeastern Elementary School and Southeastern Junior/Senior High School. While the high school appears to be the stronger performer, both schools face significant challenges in student achievement and engagement.
Southeastern Junior/Senior High School has a higher statewide ranking and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to Southeastern Elementary's 1-star rating. The high school also has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 78.4% and lower chronic absenteeism at 22.8%, suggesting it is the stronger performing school in the district.
However, both schools struggle with low proficiency rates, particularly in math, and have a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The district as a whole ranks 579 out of 813 districts in Illinois and receives only 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement in student outcomes across the board. Addressing the root causes of low test scores, high absenteeism, and inconsistent performance should be a top priority for the Southeastern CUSD 337 leadership.
