Summary:
Schools in this area consist of one elementary school, Timothy L Johnson Academy, serving grades K–5 with 440 students at 4625 Werling Dr, Fort Wayne, IN 46806, and it is also its own district, Timothy L Johnson Academy. Because there is only one school in this list, parents cannot compare it with other local schools here; instead, the useful comparisons are with Indiana averages and with the school’s own recent years. The main takeaway is that the school is below state benchmarks in every available tested subject, while also serving a high-need student population with high chronic absenteeism.
For 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 28.5%, compared with 16.7% statewide, and 82.73% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch. Per-student spending was $13,073 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 20:1 in 2024–2025. The district ranks 357 out of 374 Indiana districts, at the 5th percentile with 0 stars. Rank history shows the school has stayed in the bottom 11% or lower for three reported years: 987 of 1,011 (2nd percentile, 0 stars) in 2023–2024, 890 of 1,005 (11th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025, and 933 of 1,015 (8th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–2026.
In 2025–2026, all-grades proficiency was 15.63% in ELA, 17.86% in Math, and 10% in Science. Grade-level gaps versus the state were large: 4th grade ELA was 5% proficient versus 42.2% statewide, 4th grade Math was 16.25% versus 52%, and 4th grade Science was 10% versus 43.8%. Math showed a small year-over-year gain, rising from 16.67% to 17.86%, while ELA and Science were essentially flat or slightly down. Fifth grade Social Studies improved from 15.25% to 19.3%, but the state average rose from 38.5% to 47.2%, so the gap widened. Overall, the school remains in the bottom decile of Indiana rankings, with low proficiency across all tested subjects and very high chronic absenteeism.
