This school's athletic program is wonderful. From cross country to football to soccer, Southeast Athletics are a great thing to be a part of, and are a force to be reconned with in the state.

Sputheast has dedicated teachers that will really prepare you for college or advanced placement classes if you choose. As the member of Varsity Swimming, the athletic programs here are top notch and rely on tradition which LSE has built throughtout its 50+ year history.

I'm currently in my junior year at LSE and I must say, it's a really great school. The teachers here do their best to make sure we understand what were here to do; and the student and extra-curricular activities leave little to be desired. Its a great place to be.

First off I attend southeast high school and there is no place better to go to school then LSE. The teachers really care about what they are doing and as a 3 year letterman on the football team I have really enjoyed playing sports for southeast. I would recommend this school to anyone and everyone.

My oldest daughter attended LSE and now my son is. It is a great place for kids to get involved and the other parents care a great deal about the well being of all the students. My daughter was a Shirette and my son is on StuCo, and nothing could be better. This is a school that encourages student involvement and support and the students are happy to be there. School spirit is always at a high and the teachers are very involved also. I would highly recommend this school, it has great tradition and has been nationally recognized. And always remember, down with the Hawks! Go Knights!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Nebraska used the Nebraska State Accountability (NeSA) assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math; in grades 4, 8 and 11 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 11 in science. The NeSA assessments are standards-based tests, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nebraska. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
