Summary

Oak View Elementary School is a K–5 school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving 442 students as part of Northwest Allen County Schools. In 2025–26 it ranked 90th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 91st percentile, with 5 stars — well above its district's overall standing of 53rd of 374 districts. That is not a one-year spike: Oak View has stayed between the 88th and 97th percentiles in every year shown since 2015–16.

Among nearby schools with rankings, Oak View is the strongest. Cedar Canyon Elementary School follows at 112th, while Hickory Center Elementary School (262nd) and Perry Hill Elementary School (263rd) trail further back. The contrast with Perry Hill is striking: it sits just 0.09 miles away in the same district, yet Oak View posts higher proficiency in ELA (59.73% vs. 46.79%), math (73.01% vs. 55.36%), science (61.63% vs. 58.59%), and 5th-grade social studies (72.06% vs. 66.67%). Math is Oak View's standout subject — 3rd-grade math proficiency is 91.67%, 24.51 points above the district and 39.77 points above the state. Chronic absenteeism is another bright spot at just 1.8%, lower than every nearby school and far below the district's 7.8% and the state's 16.7%.

Two comparisons need care. Cedarville Elementary School reports higher all-grade ELA (80.23%) and math (79.07%), but it is a K–3 school in East Allen County Schools, so its figures cover a narrower grade span; on 3rd-grade math, Oak View's 91.67% is higher. Meanwhile, high-poverty Fort Wayne Community Schools campuses such as Lincoln Elementary School, Mabel K Holland Elementary School, and Washington Center Elementary School have free/reduced lunch rates around 64–67% and much lower scores. Oak View spends $9,722 per student with a 15.1 student-teacher ratio — mid-range locally — and after a slight dip in 2025–26 remains a consistent top-decile Indiana school.

Open Quote This school is absolutely amazing. All of the teachers my children have had are dedicated and talented. The principal is accessible and kind, parent involvement is high, and the PTO uses their proceeds to pay for student field trips. I don't doubt for a second that this school is one of the best in the city. Close Quote
