Summary

East Allen University is a small public high school serving 291 students in grades 9–12 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, part of East Allen County Schools. Although its district sits mid-pack among Indiana districts (204th of 374, or 45th percentile), the school itself stands out: it holds a 4-star rating and ranks 119th of 415 Indiana high schools — the 71st percentile — in 2025–2026. It has never fallen below 4 stars in a decade of rankings, peaking at 5 stars in 2021–2022.

Compared with nearby schools — Woodlan Junior/Senior High School, Heritage Junior/Senior High School, New Haven Junior/Senior High School, and Fort Wayne Community Schools' R Nelson Snider High School, Northrop High School, North Side High School, South Side High School, and Wayne High School — East Allen University posts the strongest results overall while serving the highest-poverty student body (72.2% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) on the third-lowest per-student spending ($10,830). It has graduated 100% of its students in four of the past five years, versus 97.0% at Snider, the closest comparison. Reading proficiency (61.11%) leads the group by about 9 points and biology (57.14%) by about 8. Low-income students, roughly 72% of enrollment, perform at the 81st–89th percentile of Indiana schools serving that group. Note that Woodlan, Heritage, and New Haven include grades 7–8, so SAT, biology, graduation rate, and absenteeism are the fair shared measures.

Two concerns stand out. SAT Math has declined four years running, from 40.00% in 2022–23 to 15.28% in 2025–26 — now below both district (20.17%) and state (25.6%) levels. Chronic absenteeism rose from 5.0% in 2020–21 to 22.3% in 2024–25, now above district and state rates, even as graduation rates held at 100%. With roughly 70 students per grade, single-year figures can swing, but the multi-year direction of both trends is consistent enough to watch.
