Southeast Academy High School

My daughter Alexandria went to Southwest Academy H.S. (graduated in 2011) after leaving Cerritos H.S., which she did not like. Her grades and confidence soared immediately. The Sergeants are tough, but caring. Today, she is in her last year of college, due to the success of obtaining leadership skills, good grades and guidance, perfect study habits, and organizational skills. Since being in college, she has been accepted into their Exchange Program, which allowed her to travel and attend the University of Hawaii, the University of Alaska, and a special college research program in Costa Rica, where only 11 students were chosen to attend. I can’t say enough about the leadership at Southeast Academy that paved a solid path for my daughter, who is studying to become a Land and Sea Veterinarian. Not all students have to be military bound to succeed at this school! Thank you STAFF… from the front office to the classroom.

My daughter made it to graduation with high honors! Class of 2015. She in now in Navy boot camp and I know this school has a lot to do with her success. I can’t praise this school enough for turning my daughter around I every way. Love SEA!

Oopps! Gave my last review of the School on the wrong Name but technically its the same facility. My kids have attended here for the past 3 yrs and love it, one will be their last yr here and the other one will be transffering to a normal school due to two of their favorite teacher’s who play a mayor roll here will be retiring. Below I say /​ROP because besides the shool they also have ROP for anyone esle. Anyways.

my son is graduating from Southeast this year (2013) he loves his school started 10^th grade and did 9^th grade at Downey High School where it was a nightmare even with his counselor who told him in front of me «he was not going to graduate» there was another teacher who told him that his family didn’t love him. i tried to get help from everywhere but no one helped me until i saw «the light at the end of the tunnel’, at Southeast teacher’s do care about the student and they do what exactly what they tell you, that your son will be a 3.0 student, they focus on every single student, my son from being a 1.3 student at Downey High School became a 3.0 at Southeast thanks to the excellent principal Msgt Schafer, Msgt Allard and Teachers who had been a great guide and an example and discipline thank you to all of them, God bless them, they’re so professional and dedicated to educate kids, my family don’t know how to pay this people for all the effort they put on this kids… hopefully this will help another families looking for a wonderful school, i wish all schools had teacher like Southeast dedicated to the education and helping kids to graduate.
THANK YOU SOUTHEAST FOR EVERYTHING!!!

My oldest son graduated from this school and my other son, who is currently a junior, is now attending. It is an excellent school with low student to teacher ratios for a public school. The students also get discipline and structure that they don’t get at a regular high school. «Family» participation is encouraged and they do lots of extra-​curricular activities. I recommend this school as it is great preparation for LIFE! Because it is a public school, students are getting a private school quality education for FREE!

oh how i miss my kids!
well, technically, they are teenagers. south east academy is a military academy high school. it’s all about family, community, discipline, and honor. i had majority of the students there in my classes since i was the only math teacher at the time. (and i subbed for the elective math class often)
it is not a place that troubled teens go to as a last resort (although there are those students also). there is the kind of order and rules that every high school should think about implementing. due for a visit soon. ;) they have ROP classes in health careers, law enforcement, etc. this is also good training for any teenager who wants to be a future marine (navy or army… active or reserves).
i recommend principals of other high schools to visit and see how things work. ;) they could really learn a thing or two.
