Summary

Maplewood Elementary School is a PK–5 public school serving 477 students in Fort Wayne, Indiana, part of Fort Wayne Community Schools, a district ranked 274th of 374 in Indiana (27th percentile, 1 star). Maplewood itself ranks 801st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 21st percentile — with 1 star, and its rank history shows a consistently below-average standing with a brief peak in 2023–2024.

Attendance is Maplewood's clearest strength: chronic absenteeism was 11.5% in 2024–2025, well below the district's 20.2% and the state's 16.7%, and down sharply from 25.5% in 2020–2021. Among nearby same-district schools, only Jeff H Towles Intermediate School (3.8%) had a lower rate. Academically, 2025–2026 proficiency was 28.23% in ELA, 28.23% in math, 19.70% in science, and 22.83% in 5th-grade social studies — below the district in every subject, including an 8.0 percentage point gap in science, and below state averages at each tested grade level.

Results vary by grade. Fourth grade is comparatively stronger, with ELA at 33.33% (above the district's 32.50%) and math at 36.36% (close to the district's 39.86%), while 5th grade lags badly — math is 16.30% versus the district's 30.07% and the state's 42%. Social studies, though still below district and state, has more than quadrupled in two years, from 5.41% to 22.83%. Maplewood's student–teacher ratio of 14.5 is the highest among nearby FWCS schools, and its $12,145 per-student spending is the second-lowest. Notably, Waynedale Elementary School, just 0.46 miles away, scores far higher (ELA and math 41.67%, science 30.77%) despite higher chronic absenteeism (23.5%) and a lower student–teacher ratio (13.6).
