Summary

South View Elementary School is a PK–5 public school serving 470 students at 2100 S Franklin in Muncie, Indiana, part of Muncie Community Schools.

Academically, South View is among the lowest-ranked elementary schools in Indiana, placing 964th of 1,015 schools in 2025–2026 (5th percentile, 0 stars) within a district ranked 307th of 374 statewide. On 2025–2026 ILEARN, all-grade proficiency was 11.22% in ELA, 18.05% in math, 8.06% in science, and 6.45% in 5th grade social studies — below the district's 22.96% in ELA, 26.26% in math, 22.94% in science, and 22.41% in social studies, and far below same-grade state rates. South View is second-lowest among nearby same-district schools in ELA and math and at or near the bottom in science and social studies. Nearby East Washington Academy, by contrast, posts far higher proficiency (40.52% ELA, 45.69% math, 28.75% science, 47.06% social studies).

Two contextual factors stand out. Chronic absenteeism was 40.5% in 2024–2025 — higher than every nearby Muncie school, including Longfellow Elementary School (30.7%), Grissom Elementary School (30.2%), North View Elementary School (23.3%), and West View Elementary School (22.1%) — and more than double Indiana's 16.7%, though it has improved from 56.7% in 2021–2022. About 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Resources are not obviously the constraint: South View spends $13,787 per student with a 12.5 student-teacher ratio, more funding and smaller classes than higher-performing Pleasant View Elementary School, Royerton Elementary School, Cowan Elementary School, and Yorktown Elementary School. Scores have risen since 2022–2023 (ELA 6.19% to 11.22%; math 6.67% to 18.05%), and the weakest spots are 4th grade ELA, 4th grade science, and 5th grade social studies.
