Summary:

ZIP code 46550 covers Nappanee, Indiana, and its three public schools all belong to Wa-Nee Community Schools: North Wood High School (grades 9–12, 873 students) and two K–5 elementaries, Woodview Elementary School (410 students) and Nappanee Elementary School (378 students), for 1,661 students in total. No middle school is listed inside this ZIP, and the district as a whole is highly rated, ranking 17th of 374 Indiana districts at the 95th percentile with 5 stars.

North Wood High School is the ZIP's top performer, ranking 40th of 415 schools (90th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026, up sharply from 82nd of 432 two years earlier. Its graduation rate is 98.5% versus Indiana's 89.7%, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing is 72.14% versus 51.9% statewide, SAT Math is 41.79% versus 25.6%, and Biology ILEARN rose to 50.48%. The one watch item is chronic absenteeism at 17.4%, above the district's 11.2% and slightly above the state's 16.7%, suggesting absenteeism is concentrated at the high-school level.

The two elementaries shine in different subjects. Woodview Elementary School ranks 165th of 1,015 (84th percentile, 4 stars) and has the ZIP's lowest chronic absenteeism at 7.4%, less than half the state rate, with all-grade ELA at 64.81% and Science at 57.58%; its soft spot is 5th-grade Social Studies at 42.42%, below the state's 47.2%. Nappanee Elementary School ranks 201st of 1,015 (80th percentile, 4 stars), leading in Math (70.92% all-grade; 4th grade 75.36% versus 52% statewide) and holding the lowest student-teacher ratio at 13.2, but its all-grade Science is 40.58%, well below the district.
