Summary

Huntertown Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Huntertown, IN, serving 563 students as part of Northwest Allen County Schools, a high-performing district. The school is currently rated 3 stars, ranking 427th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (58th percentile) and performing below its district, which ranks 53rd of 374 districts. In 2025–2026, its All Grades proficiency was 41.46% in ELA, 44.25% in math, and 44.83% in science, compared with the district’s 50.87%, 50.03%, and 56.25%. Among nearby same-district schools, it had the lowest All Grades proficiency in all three subjects.

Strengths include 5th grade social studies, where the school scored 64.71%, close to the district’s 65.40% and well above the state’s 47.20%, and 5th grade ELA, at 45.63% versus the state’s 42.20%. Attendance is also strong: chronic absenteeism was 5.1% in 2024–2025, well below the district’s 7.8% and the state’s 16.7%, though Oak View Elementary School (1.8%), Perry Hill Elementary School (3.0%), and Cedar Canyon Elementary School (3.2%) were lower. The free/reduced lunch rate fell to 29.66%, and per-student spending was $9,520. However, the student-teacher ratio rose to 17.7, the highest among same-district peers, including Hickory Center Elementary School (13.4), Eel River Elementary School (13.9), and Aspen Meadow Elementary School (16.3).

Math is the most consistent concern. In 2025–2026, 4th grade math was 43.18% (state 52.00%, district 57.17%) and 5th grade math was 37.86% (state 42.00%, district 42.90%). Similar-demographic peers often outperformed the school: Eel River Elementary School, with a 29.29% free/reduced lunch rate, scored higher in ELA (50.50% vs. 41.46%) and science (52.05% vs. 44.83%) with similar math (44.50% vs. 44.25%). Lincoln Elementary School in Fort Wayne Community Schools had a 66.95% free/reduced lunch rate yet higher ELA (47.35%) and math (50.63%), though the school scored higher in science and social studies. Cedarville Elementary School posted high ELA and math (80.23% and 79.07%) but serves only K–3. After a 4-star, 72nd-percentile year in 2024–2025, the school dropped in 2025–2026 even as attendance stayed low and poverty declined. The bottom line: strong attendance, social studies, and 5th grade ELA, but math, science, and instructional consistency are areas to watch.
