Summary

Prince Chapman Academy is an elementary school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 765 students. The school is part of the East Allen County Schools district, which is ranked 186 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Prince Chapman Academy faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well above the state and district averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is also significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 14.78% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 36.62% for the district and 40.3% for the state. Similarly, in math, only 18.14% of students were proficient or better, compared to 36.01% for the district and 51.5% for the state. Additionally, Prince Chapman Academy has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86% to 87.84% over the past few years.

When comparing Prince Chapman Academy to nearby schools, both within the same district, such as Southwick Elementary, and in other districts, such as Bunche Elementary, John S Irwin Elementary, and Weisser Park Elementary, the nearby schools in other districts have higher academic performance, despite also serving high-poverty populations. The charter school, Timothy L Johnson Academy, has lower academic performance compared to the nearby traditional public schools. These comparisons highlight the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support Prince Chapman Academy's improvement efforts.
