Southeast Polk Community School District, (often shortened to SEP, SE Polk) is a public school district located in suburban Des Moines and rural Polk County, Iowa, including the towns of Altoona, Mitchellville, Pleasant Hill, Runnells, and the surrounding rural areas.

The district also stretches into small portions of Jasper and Marion Counties.

[citation needed] The school mascot is the Ram.

The district modified the "s" to represent the word "schools," but the original intent was for the mascot to represent the entire area covered by the school district.

Southeast Polk is a member of the Central Iowa Metro League.
