Summary:
The 46806 zip code area of Fort Wayne, Indiana is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school, with no high schools or alternative schools represented. The schools are a mix of public district schools and public charter schools, with the district schools belonging to the Fort Wayne Community Schools district.
Among the schools in this area, Weisser Park Elementary School and John S Irwin Elementary School stand out as the top performers, with significantly higher ILEARN proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math compared to the other elementary schools. These two schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting a potential connection between attendance and academic success. In contrast, the other elementary schools (Merle J Abbett, Timothy L Johnson Academy, and Levan R Scott Academy) have much lower ILEARN proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism.
The data also reveals that the higher-performing schools, Weisser Park and John S Irwin, have higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, which may be contributing factors to their stronger academic results. Additionally, the schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by free/reduced-price lunch rates, tend to struggle with significantly lower academic proficiency, suggesting that these schools may face unique challenges in supporting their student populations.
