GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a student at Southeast my overall experience is great. I have done excellent in all of my classes and have made very memorable memories. I have took every day step by step and just kept my head held up looking for the best in things. No one wants to go to school, so I just did what I had to do everyday in order to get what I needed done and get good grades. Over the course of 4 years there have been ups and downs. There was many days when I didn't want to go to school but I got up and went and have done the best I could with what I had. School is not my favorite place, but it is critical with what I want to become. My goal is to complete high school with good grades, and get into college and complete the course I need to become a vet technician. It will not be easy, but with faith and determination I will succeed.

In my experience at Southeast I have seen and been involved with a very welcoming community. However, there are times when the study body is very rude, and it is very off putting as a student.

I enjoyed my time there and the teachers for the Honors and AP classes were amazing during my time there. I found that many of teachers would go out of their way to make sure that their students were learning and that they had all of the resources they could provide for success.

SHS is a well kept secret in Whitfield County. The teachers and staff are caring and know each student by name. The student population numbers are huge and it is the largest HS in the area, but it feels small with loads of 1on1 help for those who want it.
