South View Elementary School

Summary:

South View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Muncie, Indiana, serving 445 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Muncie Community Schools district, which is ranked 293 out of 381 districts in the state.

Despite its diverse student population, South View Elementary faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 42.4% to 56.7%, which is much higher than the district average. Additionally, South View's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 10% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to 21.28% for the Muncie Community Schools district and 38.6% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86.65% to 91.69%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Muncie Community Schools district, such as Longfellow Elementary and North View Elementary, South View Elementary stands out as one of the lowest-performing schools, with significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores. While the school's diverse student population is a strength, the data suggests that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with higher-performing schools in the district.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
