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.
