Summary:
ZIP code 46234 has two elementary schools — Robey Elementary School and Chapel Glen Elementary School. Both serve PK–6, both are part of MSD Wayne Township, and both enroll nearly the same number of students (847 and 843). The district itself is ranked 292 of 374 statewide, in the 22nd percentile with 1 star.
Robey Elementary School stands out positively. It ranks 429 of 1,015 for 2025–26, in the 58th percentile with 3 stars, and has held steady at 3 stars for three years. It beats its district in every all-grade subject — 41.7% in ELA, 42.64% in Math, and 46.09% in Science — and its chronic absenteeism of 10.8% is below both the district (22.1%) and the state (16.7%). Chapel Glen Elementary School is at the other end: ranked 978 of 1,015, in the 4th percentile with 0 stars, and trending down over three years. It trails the district in every subject (9.72% ELA, 9.03% Math, 10.73% Science), with absenteeism at 17.9% — better than the district but above the state.
The academic gap between the two is large: about 32 to 35 percentage points in every all-grade subject, and 33 points in 5th grade Social Studies. Robey's strongest result is 4th grade Math at 61.54%, above the state's 52%; Chapel Glen's weakest is 5th grade Math at 0.86%, and no grade-level result there reaches 20%. Chapel Glen serves more students on free/reduced lunch (60.74% vs. 54.31%) and spends less per student ($11,712 vs. $13,677). Student-teacher ratios are similar (17.4 at Robey, 16.8 at Chapel Glen), so that alone does not explain the difference.
