Summary:
The three schools located in the 46613 zip code area of South Bend, Indiana serve predominantly low-income and minority student populations, and consistently perform below state and district averages on key academic metrics. While there are no clear standout schools in this data set, the challenges faced by Riley High School, Lincoln Elementary School, and Studebaker Center suggest a need for comprehensive improvement efforts across the South Bend Community School Corp district.
The data reveals that the schools in this area struggle with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and poor graduation rates. For example, Riley High School has proficiency rates on SAT/EBRW and SAT/Math that are significantly below the district averages, and a 4-year graduation rate of only 81.6%. Similarly, Lincoln Elementary School has extremely low proficiency rates on ILEARN English Language Arts and Math, with most grades scoring under 20% proficient.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors likely contribute to the schools' challenges, as they serve predominantly minority and low-income student populations. All three schools have high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.85% to 86.08%. Addressing these disparities and the high rates of chronic absenteeism, which range from 43.8% to 56.0%, will be crucial to improving academic outcomes in this area.
