Summary

J Wilbur Haley Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 583 students in Fort Wayne, Indiana, part of Fort Wayne Community Schools, a district ranked 274th of 374 in Indiana (1 star). Haley itself ranks 820th of 1,015 Indiana schools in 2025-26 — 19th percentile, 1 star — placing it in the bottom fifth of the state.

Academically, its 2025-26 proficiency rates were 23.99% in English/language arts, 28.78% in math, 19.35% in science, and 27.38% in fifth-grade social studies. Math is Haley's relative bright spot, nearly matching the district's 29.43%, while ELA, science, and social studies trail more noticeably. There is encouraging momentum: math jumped from 15.85% to 28.78% and fifth-grade social studies from 11.65% to 27.38% in the latest year, with ELA rising modestly. Science fell from 31.25% to 19.35%, though science is tested only in fourth grade, so cohort changes can affect that number. Nearby comparisons are striking: Fred H Croninger Elementary School, about a mile away, sits in the top 1% of Indiana schools with 76.05% ELA and 88.35% math proficiency, and Glenwood Park Elementary School, with nearly the same poverty rate, posts 41.13% math and 35.79% science.

About 66.04% of Haley students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024-25. Chronic absenteeism was 15.9%, better than both the district (20.2%) and state (16.7%), and a sharp improvement from 28.0% in 2020-21 — a genuine strength. Per-student spending was $12,157 with a student-teacher ratio of 13.8. Haley outperforms Adams Elementary School in most measures even though Adams spends more per student, suggesting results here are not simply a matter of funding.
