South East High

South East High sits in South Gate, a working-class city in southeast Los Angeles County with a strong sense of community pride and deep roots in the region's Latino culture. The school lands in the middle of the pack statewide, with reasonably solid English scores and a student body that reflects the hardworking families who've called this area home for generations. Families who value a neighborhood school with a genuine local identity — and who are willing to get involved to help their student thrive — will find South East a familiar, community-rooted option in a part of L.A. that doesn't always get the attention it deserves.
