Summary

Weisser Park Elementary School in Fort Wayne, IN, is a Fort Wayne Community Schools elementary at 902 Colerick St serving 632 students in grades 1–5, making it the largest campus in its immediate neighborhood. In 2025–26 it ranks 568 of 1,015 statewide (44th percentile, 2 stars), the highest-ranked of nine nearby elementary campuses analyzed, though down from 61st percentile and 3 stars in 2022–23. Its district ranks 274 of 374 Indiana districts, so Weisser Park outperforms its district in every tested subject.

On 2025–26 ILEARN, all-grade proficiency was 37.74% in ELA, 42.32% in math, and 27.97% in science. That beats Fort Wayne Community Schools (29.96% ELA, 29.43% math, 27.70% science), but trails the Indiana state average at every tested grade level in ELA and math. Math is the best in the comparison group — nearly three times South Wayne Elementary School's 14.69% and about double Harrison Hill Elementary School's 33.98% — while ELA and science are second only to John S Irwin Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism is a standout: 9.1% in 2024–25, less than half the district's 20.2% and the state's 16.7%, and far below Fairfield Elementary School (20.9%) and Merle J Abbett Elementary School (31.4%), though higher than John S Irwin Elementary School's 3.6%. Weisser Park spends $12,811 per student, below the neighborhood average of about $13,546, while its student-teacher ratio improved from 16.4 to 14.3 to 13.1.

The main concern is an internal grade gap: grade 5 is strong — ELA 46.46% and math 44.09%, both above state averages, and social studies 47.24% matches the state and beats the district — while grade 4 ELA is 28.81% and science is 27.97%, far below the state's 43.8%. All-grade ELA has fallen four straight years, from 45.01% to 37.74%, while math recovered to 42.32% and science dropped from 48.41% to 27.97%. The closest benchmark, John S Irwin Elementary School, serves a similar low-income population, posts higher ELA and science, and spends $1,456 more per student. Two PK–K campuses feed Weisser Park: Whitney M Young Early Childhood and Bunche Elementary School.
