Success Academy Primary School

Success Academy Primary School is the sole elementary public charter school located in South Bend, Indiana, serving 604 students from grades K-5. The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies across all grade levels. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and spending per student in line with the state average, Success Academy Primary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Indiana elementary schools and received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's demographics reveal a student population that is predominantly low-income, with 78.48% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school faces a significant challenge with high chronic absenteeism, with 35.4% of students missing 10% or more of the school year. These factors likely contribute to the school's struggles to provide a high-quality education, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance compared to state averages.

While Success Academy Primary School appears to be the only elementary school in the area, the data suggests that significant improvements are needed to address the school's academic and attendance challenges and better support the educational needs of its students.
