Original Research by School Decision on Southeastern Jr/sr High School
Southeastern Jr/Sr High School is a consolidated junior and senior high serving grades seven through twelve in Augusta, a small rural village in Hancock County. The school draws its enrollment from Augusta, Bowen, and Plymouth, making it the sole secondary education option in its district.
The school's academic picture is mixed. In English language arts, students in grades seven and eight showed proficiency rates in the middle to upper range, suggesting students are acquiring reading and writing skills. Mathematics presents a weaker profile: in seventh grade, fewer than one in five students reached proficiency, and eighth-grade results were slightly better but still below where most families might hope to see them. Eighth-grade science showed a modestly strong result. State assessment data for grades nine through twelve is not publicly reported; a parent would need to ask the school directly about how older students are progressing in core subjects. The school demonstrates full participation in state testing where required.
Relative to other districts in Hancock County, Southeastern's overall proficiency index sits below the county median, meaning students here are testing lower than the typical peer district in the area. The school does not report a four-year graduation rate or chronic absenteeism data, so a prospective parent should ask the district for those numbers directly.
The student body is small by modern standards, with enrollment distributed evenly across the middle and high school grades. The population is predominantly white, with only a very small number of Hispanic and multiracial students and no Black or Asian students currently enrolled. The school does not report the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the rate of special education enrollment, or English learner enrollment; these are data gaps worth asking about if they matter to your family.
Southeastern sits within Augusta itself, near downtown rather than on an isolated campus, placing it within the village's small civic core. Augusta is a declining agricultural village with a median household income below the state average and a population that is aging. The community has modest commercial activity along Main Street but no major employers beyond the school district itself and small local businesses. Housing costs are well below the state average, and there is no recent development pressure. The village is car-dependent, connected to the region by state routes, with no fixed-route public transit.
Program offerings, course breadth, and extracurricular options were not described in the data available. A parent considering this school should ask directly about what courses are offered in high school, whether any dual-credit or career-pathway programs exist, and what student activities and organizations are available. The school's website, where one exists, would be a direct resource for that picture.
Southeastern is the practical choice for families living in its attendance area rather than a school families typically choose to enter from elsewhere. It is a small school in a small town with test scores that suggest academic support is an area to understand more deeply before enrollment or as an ongoing conversation with teachers and administrators.
