Summary:
The 46807 zip code area of Fort Wayne, Indiana is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Fort Wayne Community Schools district. While the schools serve a diverse student population, the data reveals significant challenges, particularly at South Side High School and Fairfield Elementary School.
South Side High School, the only high school in the data set, stands out with a low statewide ranking, poor academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a majority of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Similarly, Fairfield Elementary School has the lowest statewide ranking among the elementary schools, with significantly below-average academic performance and the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These two schools face significant challenges that suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools serving the highest percentages of students from low-income families also having the lowest academic achievement. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at South Side High School and Fairfield Elementary, are concerning and likely contribute to the poor academic performance. Addressing chronic absenteeism should be a priority for these schools, as it is a key factor in student success.
