Summary

Perry Hill Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, enrolling 545 students as part of the Northwest Allen County Schools district. In 2025–2026, it ranks 263rd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools, placing it in the 74th percentile with 4 stars. Its history shows a stable 4-star school that peaked at the 86th percentile in 2021–2022, dipped to the 70th percentile in 2024–2025, and rebounded to the 74th percentile in 2025–2026.

Academically, Perry Hill is above the district in Math, Science, and 5th-grade Social Studies but below the district in English Language Arts (ELA). Its 2025–2026 all-grade results were 46.79% ELA, 55.36% Math, 58.59% Science, and 66.67% 5th-grade Social Studies, compared with district results of 50.87% ELA, 50.03% Math, 56.25% Science, and 65.40% Social Studies. Among nearby schools in the same district, Perry Hill is third of seven in Math, Science, and Social Studies but fifth of seven in ELA. Oak View Elementary School and Cedar Canyon Elementary School, the two closest district schools, outperform Perry Hill in every major subject, while Hickory Center Elementary School is close in overall rank. Attendance is a clear strength: Perry Hill’s chronic absenteeism is 3.0%, far below the district’s 7.8% and the state’s 16.7%, and second only to Oak View among nearby district schools. About 19.82% of students receive free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending is $9,454 with a 16.4 student-teacher ratio.

Compared with lower-ranked district peers such as Eel River Elementary School, Aspen Meadow Elementary School, and Huntertown Elementary School, Perry Hill generally has stronger Math and Science results and lower chronic absenteeism. It also outperforms nearby Fort Wayne Community Schools—including Lincoln Elementary School, Mabel K Holland Elementary School, and Washington Center Elementary School—which have much higher poverty and absenteeism. One nearby outlier is Cedarville Elementary School in East Allen County Schools, a K–3 school with unusually high 2025–2026 proficiency in ELA (80.23%) and Math (79.07%); because it serves only K–3, direct comparisons are limited. Recent trends show Math, Science, and Social Studies improving while ELA remains flat and below district, with 5th grade the weakest grade-level area in both ELA and Math. The main improvement target appears to be ELA, especially in 4th and 5th grade.
