Summary

West View Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 3401 W Gilbert St in Muncie, Indiana, serving 538 students — the largest of the nearby Muncie Community Schools elementaries. The district overall ranks 307 of 374 Indiana districts, at the 18th percentile with 1 star, but West View currently sits somewhat above that profile: in 2025–2026 it ranked 693 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars, an improvement from 27th percentile and 1 star in 2024–2025. Its high point in the data provided was 2016–2017, at the 56th percentile with 3 stars, while recent years have hovered mostly in the bottom third.

Academically, West View Elementary School beats the Muncie district average in all four tested areas. In 2025–2026 ILEARN, ELA was 31.47% proficient versus 22.96% district-wide, Math 38.25% versus 26.26%, Science 29.76% versus 22.94%, and 5th grade Social Studies 26.03% versus 22.41%; Science is the highest among nearby same-district Muncie schools. Still, results trail state grade-level averages: 5th grade ELA 26.03% versus Indiana's 42.2%, Math 24.66% versus 42%, Social Studies 26.03% versus 47.2%, and grade 4 Science 29.76% versus 43.8%. Chronic absenteeism was 22.1% in 2024–2025, down sharply from 53.1% in 2021–2022 and the lowest among nearby Muncie schools, though above Indiana's 16.7%. Free/reduced lunch was 63.94% — moderate-high and lower than most Muncie peers. Per-student spending was $11,551, the least among nearby Muncie peers, with the highest student-teacher ratio among them at 15.2.

Two comparisons stand out. East Washington Academy outranks West View overall and leads in ELA, Math, and Social Studies, but West View has slightly higher Science, lower absenteeism, and lower free/reduced lunch. Meanwhile, suburban schools such as Cowan Elementary School, Royerton Elementary School, and Yorktown Elementary School have far lower absenteeism and poverty and much higher proficiency. The clearest weak spot is 5th grade, especially Math and Social Studies, where West View is barely above the district average; its overall Math advantage comes mostly from grades 3 and 4.
