Summary:
ZIP code 46617 in South Bend, Indiana, contains exactly one high school: Rise Up Academy at Eggleston, a grades 9–12 school with 149 students in South Bend Community School Corp. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP, there are no local school-to-school comparisons to make; the useful comparisons are between this school, its district, and the state as a whole. It is a small, high-poverty school where 67.11% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch.
The school’s statewide rankings are consistently low. In 2025–2026 it ranked 407 of 415 (2nd percentile, 0 stars); in 2024–2025 it ranked 428 of 429 (0th percentile, 0 stars); and in 2023–2024 it ranked 421 of 432 (3rd percentile, 0 stars). Test proficiency is far below district and state levels. In 2024–2025 the school reported 0% proficiency in both SAT Mathematics and Biology, and 7.89% in SAT Reading and Writing. In 2025–2026 those figures were 2.44% in SAT Math, 8.33% in Biology, and 4.88% in SAT Reading and Writing, against district rates of 12.12%, 25.52%, and 33.75%. The most striking concern is chronic absenteeism at 86.1%, compared with 40.3% for the district and 16.7% for the state.
Graduation tells a different story: the school’s 88.3% rate is above the district’s 82.5% and close to the state’s 89.7%. Staffing and spending are intensive, with a 6.8 student-teacher ratio and $21,785 spent per student in 2023–2024, suggesting resources are directed toward a high-needs population rather than being simply underfunded. With only 149 students and test scores drawn from small groups, a few students can shift percentages sharply, so year-to-year changes should be read cautiously. Overall, this is a small school with a relatively strong graduation rate but severe attendance, proficiency, and ranking challenges.
