Summary:
Timothy L Johnson Academy is the sole elementary school located in the Timothy L Johnson Academy district in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The public charter school serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 394 students.
Despite its consistent ranking in the bottom 3% of Indiana elementary schools over the past 3 years and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school faces significant challenges. Its proficiency rates in ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.16% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of around 40%. The school's math proficiency rates are also low, ranging from 12.28% to 20.34% across grade levels, compared to the state averages of 41.5% to 51.5%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year is 17.8%, which is higher than the state average.
The data suggests that Timothy L Johnson Academy may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, which could be related to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (64.97% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) and the relatively high per-student spending ($13,073). The school's low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates indicate that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.
