Summary:
Zip code 46748 is home to one elementary school, Huntertown Elementary School, serving students from Kindergarten to 5th grade. This school is part of the Northwest Allen County Schools district, which is recognized as a high-performing district in Indiana.
Huntertown Elementary School has an enrollment of 535 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6. The school's performance shows a mixed picture. In English Language Arts (ELA), the school demonstrated a strength in 4th grade during the 2024-2025 school year, with 65.66% proficiency, significantly outperforming both district and state averages. However, 3rd and 5th grade ELA proficiency lagged behind district averages in both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years. Math performance also presented challenges, with a notable decline from 3rd to 5th grade in both years, particularly in 5th grade where proficiency was significantly below district and state averages. Science, on the other hand, appears to be a relative strength, with 4th-grade science proficiency in 2024-2025 exceeding both district and state averages.
A significant concern for Huntertown Elementary School is its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is considered high and can impact academic outcomes. The school serves a substantial portion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 38.88% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's spending per student is $9,520. While the district is highly rated, Huntertown Elementary School has areas that require focused improvement, especially in math across grades and ELA in 3rd and 5th grades, alongside addressing the chronic absenteeism rate.
