Summary

Harrison Hill Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 355 S Cornell Cir in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving 612 students as part of Fort Wayne Community Schools — the second-largest elementary in its immediate peer group, behind only Weisser Park. The district itself sits in the bottom third statewide (274th of 374 districts, 27th percentile, 1 star), and Harrison Hill ranks 749th of 1,015 schools (26th percentile), placing it almost exactly at its district's level rather than above it, while nearby John S Irwin Elementary School (54th percentile), Weisser Park Elementary School (44th) and Jeff H Towles Intermediate School (43rd) all land well above it.

Even so, Harrison Hill is the clear leader of the neighborhood's "second tier." Its 2025-26 rank and percentile are the best in the ten years shown, and its math proficiency (33.98%) beat the district by 4.55 points — one of only four schools nearby to do so — after jumping 9.46 points in a single year. Chronic absenteeism is the standout: the school cut it by 14.7 points over five years, and 2024-25 was the first year it beat both the district and the state.

The open question is where that strength stops. Third-grade math reached 49.35% — 12.9 points above the district — but fifth-grade math fell to 17.05%, a 32.3-point drop within the same building in the same year, the steepest in the comparison group. ELA and science remain roughly flat to slightly down. Harrison Hill also spends the least per student ($11,810) of all eleven nearby schools, so its results-per-dollar look efficient on a low base — but with 1 star and a bottom-quartile rank every year shown, the key question is whether the strong early grades travel with those students into fourth and fifth grade.
