Summary

East Washington Academy is a PK–5 elementary school serving 492 students on Muncie's east side, and it is one of six elementary schools in Muncie Community Schools. In 2025–26 it ranked 536th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 47th percentile, 2 stars — while its own district sits at the 18th percentile (307th of 374). For most of the past five years the school held 3 stars and a 58th–63rd percentile rank, a large rise from 754th of 1,046 in 2015–16.

On state tests, the school roughly doubles its district: ELA 40.52% versus 22.96%, Math 45.69% versus 26.26%, and Science 28.75% versus 22.94%. It is first in ELA and Math among Muncie elementary schools, ahead of West View Elementary School, North View Elementary School, Longfellow Elementary School, South View Elementary School and Grissom Elementary School. Its 47th-percentile rank is 15 points above the next-best Muncie school, while the nearby Inspire Academy - A School of Inquiry charter sits at the 19th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has fallen to 26.7% — 8.3 points below the district's 35% — though it remains about 10 points above the state.

There are real cautions. The 2025–26 slip to 2 stars came with a science proficiency drop from 47.44% to 28.75%, and 4th grade is weak in every subject (science 28.75% against the state's 43.8%), dragging the school's science number down. Math trails the higher-scoring suburban schools by 8–18 points, while ELA is already in their range. EWA spends $11,627 per student, more than Royerton Elementary School, Cowan Elementary School, Selma Elementary School or Yorktown Elementary School, which all post higher proficiency and better ranks; about 70% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch and its absenteeism is far higher than theirs. One bright spot: 5th-grade social studies matches the state at 47.06%.
