Summary:
This area is served by just one school: Success Academy Primary School, an elementary school in South Bend, Indiana (46628) that serves grades K–5 and enrolls 610 students. The area summary lists one elementary school and no middle, high, or alternative schools, so there are no other local schools to compare it against. The school also makes up its own district — Success Academy Primary School — so district-level numbers mirror the school-level numbers exactly.
Academically, the picture is mixed. On 2025–2026 ILEARN tests, 5th grade English/language arts stood out: 44.68% of students were proficient, above the state's 42.2%, and it was the only grade-level subject result to beat the state. All-grade ELA rose from 17.07% to 25.36% (+8.29 points) and math from 14.98% to 24.64% (+9.66 points) year over year, while 5th grade social studies climbed from 25% to 34.41%, still short of the state's 47.2%. Concerns are concentrated in 4th grade, where ELA (16.67% vs. 42.2% state), math (16.67% vs. 52%), and science (13.48% vs. 43.8%) all fall well behind. Science also declined overall, from 20.41% to 13.48%.
Other context matters too. Chronic absenteeism is 31.2%, well above the state's 16.7%, and 75.57% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Per-student spending was $10,736 in 2023–2024, with a student-teacher ratio of 17.9 in 2024–2025. The school ranks 806th of 1,015 schools (21st percentile) with a 1-star rating — an improvement from the 12th percentile the prior year, but still bottom-quartile. The district ranks 309th of 374.
