Summary:
Elementary schools located in the Success Academy Primary School area consist of just one school: Success Academy Primary School, a K–5 campus in South Bend, IN 46628 serving 610 students. Because this school is also its own district, district-level and school-level results are identical, so there is no second local school to compare it against.
Context matters here. About 75.57% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $10,736, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.9:1. Chronic absenteeism is 31.2%, nearly 1.9 times Indiana's 16.7% and roughly 14.5 percentage points above it — about 190 students. Rankings reflect those pressures: the school is 806th of 1,015 for 2025–2026, in the 21st percentile with 1 star, while the district ranks 309th of 374, also 1 star. Still, the school improved 77 rank positions and rose from the 12th to the 21st percentile since 2024–2025.
Academically, results are mixed. The clearest bright spot is 5th grade ELA at 44.68% proficient, above the state's 42.2%. The other stronger local results — 5th grade Social Studies at 34.41% and 3rd grade Math at 33.33% — remain below their state averages. Fourth grade is the weakest tested grade: Math 16.67% vs. 52% statewide, Science 13.48% vs. 43.8%, and ELA 16.67% vs. 42.2%. All-grade ELA rose from 17.07% to 25.36% and Math from 14.98% to 24.64%, while Science fell from 20.41% to 13.48%. Overall, this is a high-poverty, high-absenteeism school with bottom-quintile rankings and low proficiency in most subjects, though recent ELA and Math gains and one above-state result offer signs of progress.
