SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,015 Indiana Elementary Schools

Better than 18% of Indiana elementary schools

Summary

Francis M Price Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving about 405 students as part of Fort Wayne Community Schools, a district ranked 274th of 374 in Indiana (27th percentile, 1 star). The school currently ranks 833rd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 18th percentile with 1 star — down from 37th percentile and 2 stars the year before, the largest drop among comparable nearby schools. One clear strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 13.4% in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools (which average about 20.4%) and better than both the district (20.2%) and state (16.7%). Attendance has improved from 25.5% in 2020–2021, even as test scores and rankings declined.

Test results are mixed. In 2025–2026 all-grades ILEARN results, Price scored 20.57% in English Language Arts and 25.00% in Math — both below the district (29.96% and 29.43%) — while Science was 28.99%, slightly above the district's 27.70%. Locally, Price is mid-pack: Math is above the nearby average of about 23.0%, and Science is above the nearby average of about 25.3%, while ELA is slightly below. The most urgent concern is 3rd grade, where ELA proficiency was just 12.12% (district 30.47%, state 40.8%) and Math 19.70% (district 36.43%, state 51.9%). By contrast, 4th grade is a relative bright spot, with ELA 28.57%, Math 31.88%, and Science 28.99%. Grade 5 is mixed, including Social Studies at 23.29%.

Resources may be a factor: Price's per-student spending of $11,472 in 2023–2024 is the lowest among nearby comparison schools, about $2,171 (16%) below their average of roughly $13,643. Its free/reduced lunch rate of 68.64% is somewhat lower than the nearby average of about 72.3%, and its student-teacher ratio of 12.4 is close to the nearby average of about 12.3. Compared with neighbors, Price outperforms Forest Park Elementary School, South Wayne Elementary School, and Fairfield Elementary School in Math, but trails Franke Park Elementary School, Lindley Elementary School, Washington Elementary School, and Northcrest Elementary School in ELA and Math.
