Summary

Franke Park Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 828 Mildred Ave in Fort Wayne, IN, serving 416 students in the high-poverty Fort Wayne Community Schools district, where 72.84% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024-25.

For parents, Franke Park Elementary School is a relative bright spot within a low-ranked district. Its 2025-26 state rank is 659th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools—35th percentile, 2 stars—above the district’s 27th percentile and second among nearby schools with recent ILEARN data, behind Brentwood Elementary School. Aggregate ELA proficiency is 31.55% and math is 32.74%, both above the district’s roughly 30%, though still below state averages. The standout result is 5th-grade social studies at 64.71%, far above the district’s 33.76% and the state’s 47.20%, and highest nearby by a wide margin. Attendance is also a major strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 37.0% in 2020-21 to 16.4% in 2024-25, below the district’s 20.2% and slightly below the state’s 16.7%, the third-lowest rate nearby behind Francis M Price Elementary School (13.4%) and Bloomingdale Elementary School (16.2%).

Challenges remain. ELA proficiency has slipped from 38.89% in 2023-24 to 31.55% in 2025-26, and 5th-grade math is weak at 21.57%, well below the district and state. Science is 28.33%, also below both. Franke Park Elementary School spends $12,435 per student—below the nearby average of roughly $13,600 and far less than Washington Elementary School ($16,337) or South Wayne Elementary School ($16,142)—and its student-teacher ratio of 13.9 is higher than most nearby schools, yet it outperforms those two in aggregate ELA and math. Compared with Brentwood Elementary School, Franke Park has lower ELA and math proficiency but much better attendance and far higher 5th-grade social studies. Study Elementary School is the lowest-performing nearby school, while Bunche Elementary School is PK–K only, so its results are not comparable. Overall, Franke Park is a high-poverty school making meaningful attendance gains and beating its district and most nearby peers, but it still has substantial room to reach state-level proficiency.
