Summary

Cedar Canyon Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving 508 students as part of Northwest Allen County Schools, a district ranked 53rd of 374 in Indiana. Cedar Canyon itself ranked 112th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 89th percentile with 4 stars — and has stayed between the 84th and 94th percentiles over the past decade without ever falling below the 84th.

Math is the school's clearest strength: all-grade math proficiency is 70.76%, which is 20.73 points above the district's 50.03% and the highest math figure in Cedar Canyon's provided test-score history. Fourth-grade math (78.95%) and third-grade math (75.32%) are far above district and state averages. Cedar Canyon also leads its same-district peers in science (68.42%, versus 44.83–61.63%) and fifth-grade social studies (72.29%, versus 58.70–72.06%). English language arts is solid at 55.51% — above the district but below nearby Oak View Elementary School (59.73%). The one relative soft spot is third-grade ELA at 49.35%, just under the district's 50.99% but still 8.55 points above the state's 40.8%.

Chronic absenteeism is very low at 3.2%, less than half the district's 7.8% and roughly one-fifth of the state's 16.7%. Free/reduced lunch participation is 9.65%, the lowest among all nearby comparison schools. Cedar Canyon spends $9,620 per student with a 15:1 student/teacher ratio, achieving strong results without being the highest-spending school nearby. The nearby Fort Wayne Community Schools elementaries, by contrast, show chronic absenteeism of 16–19%, free/reduced lunch of 64–67%, proficiency generally in the 31–51% range, and per-student spending of $11,485 to $12,906. Oak View remains Cedar Canyon's closest academic peer — slightly ahead overall in rank, ELA, and math, but behind in science and social studies. Cedarville Elementary School posts higher K–3 scores but serves only K–3, so it isn't a like-for-like comparison.
