Southeast High School is a public high school in Bradenton, FL operated by the Manatee County School District & is the only public high school in Manatee County to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) program.

Admissions

Southeast High School is a public high school that takes in students from an area determined by the Manatee County School District. However, for admission into the IB program, applications are accepted through February of a student's eighth grade year. These applications consist of a short paragraph essay, all report cards from middle school and the students' most recent FSA scores in reading and mathematics.[4] The application process is slightly different for students applying from Johnson Middle School, a local IB middle school.

Awards and distinctions

For the school year 2010–2011, Southeast High School scored higher on the SAT than all other high schools in the Manatee County School District.[5] In addition, for the same school year, it was named a 5-Star school by the Department of Education.[6]

In 2012, the school was awarded a 'B' ranking by the Florida Department of Education, a full two grade levels above its previous ranking[7]

The school has also been recognized by Newsweek magazine in its annual rankings of high schools in the United States for the year of 2007 and was ranked 330 in 2006, 497 in 2007, 356 in 2008, 277 in 2009 and 512 in 2010.[8][9][10]

In 2018, Southeast TSA competed in the event TEAMS for their first time.
