Summary:

ZIP code 46755 in Kendallville, Indiana, contains three public elementary schools—Wayne Center Elementary School, North Side Elementary School, and South Side Elementary School—all serving grades PK–5 within the East Noble School Corporation. Together they enroll 954 students. The district is ranked 215 of 374 (43rd percentile) with a 2-star rating, but school-level performance varies widely.

For 2025–26, Wayne Center is the strongest performer, ranking 359 of 1,015 schools (65th percentile, 3 stars). It has the highest proficiency in English language arts (45.14%), math (52.08%), and 5th-grade social studies (54.69%), plus the lowest chronic absenteeism (5.1%). North Side ranks 663 of 1,015 (35th percentile, 2 stars), with ELA at 33.96% and math at 33.54%, but its 5th-grade math proficiency is only 12%, far below the district’s 32.48%. North Side also has the highest absenteeism (11.3%). South Side ranks 728 of 1,015 (28th percentile, 1 star) and has the lowest ELA (21.90%), though its math (36.50%) is slightly below the district. South Side has low absenteeism (7.5%) and the smallest classes (13.1 students per teacher).

Wayne Center benefits from the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (34.39%), highest per-student spending ($12,714), and largest classes (15.7 ratio), which may contribute to its outcomes. South Side faces the highest poverty (48.33%) and lowest spending ($11,428), and despite favorable attendance and class size, its ELA results are the weakest. North Side shares similar poverty to South Side (48.05%) but has stronger ELA and science, while struggling in math and attendance. Science is a weak spot across all three schools, and social studies shows the widest gap. Parents should note that the district’s overall rating masks important differences among these schools.
