Summary

Timothy L Johnson Academy is a K–5 elementary school in Fort Wayne, IN, serving 440 students as its own district, Timothy L Johnson Academy. The district ranks 357th of 374 Indiana districts (5th percentile, 0 stars), and in 2025–26 the school ranked 933rd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (8th percentile, 0 stars). The school has 82.73% free/reduced lunch, a 20:1 student-teacher ratio, $13,073 per-student spending, and 28.5% chronic absenteeism. In 2025–26 ILEARN proficiency, it posted 15.63% ELA, 17.86% Math, and 10% Science.

Those results place Timothy L Johnson Academy in the bottom decile; its statewide percentile never exceeded 11 from 2015–16 through 2025–26. Nearby, John S Irwin Elementary School was at the 54th percentile, Weisser Park Elementary School at 44th, and Jeff H Towles Intermediate School at 43rd, while Prince Chapman Academy, Merle J Abbett Elementary School, and Adams Elementary School were at 7th, 6th, and 9th. In 2025–26, those three higher performers posted proficiency rates roughly 20–30 points above Timothy L Johnson, which was closer to Prince Chapman (12.56% ELA, 17.41% Math) and Adams (12.88%, 20.45%). Chronic absenteeism was 28.5% versus 16.7% statewide, and its 20:1 ratio was the highest nearby; the three higher performers had ratios below 14.4 and absenteeism below 10%.

High poverty is shared: nearby John S Irwin (62.91% free/reduced lunch), Jeff H Towles (60%), and Weisser Park (64.08%) achieve much higher proficiency. Spending is mid-range at $13,073, so funding alone does not explain the gap. Trends improved from a low base: ELA rose from 10.5% to 15.63%, Math from 13.81% to 17.86%, and fifth-grade Social Studies from 0% to 19.3%; chronic absenteeism fell from 44.4% to 28.5%. Still, fourth-grade ELA was 5% versus 42.2% statewide, fourth-grade Science 10% versus 43.8%, and fifth-grade Social Studies 19.3% versus 47.2%. Within Fort Wayne Community Schools (27th percentile) and East Allen County Schools (45th percentile), some schools perform far better, while others perform similarly to Timothy L Johnson, suggesting it is closer to the lowest-performing nearby schools than to the district average.
