Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 46774

ZIP code 46774 has two elementary schools — New Haven Intermediate School (grades 3–6, 607 students) and New Haven Primary School (grades PK–2, 475 students) — which together serve 1,082 students as a PK–6 sequence, both within East Allen County Schools, a district ranked 204 of 374 in Indiana at the 45th percentile with 2 stars. Both schools serve high-poverty populations, with free/reduced lunch rates of 64.42% at Intermediate and 62.53% at Primary.

The two schools contrast in different ways. New Haven Intermediate School has the better attendance picture: 15.5% chronic absenteeism, below both the district (18.7%) and the state (16.7%). But its academics lag, with a 2025–2026 rank of 734 of 1,015 — the 28th percentile, 1 star — after a 2024–2025 rank of 721 of 1,005, also 28th percentile with 1 star. Its All Grades ILEARN proficiency in 2025–2026 was 26.64% in ELA, 29.84% in math and 28.31% in science, all below district averages, and ELA and math both slipped from the prior year. New Haven Primary School has the more favorable resources — a 14.2 student-teacher ratio versus 16.7, and $10,940 per-student spending versus $10,604 — but its chronic absenteeism of 21.7% is above both district and state, a concern given it serves the youngest learners.

For parents, the key takeaway is that neither school stands out academically on current data. Intermediate is the only one with recent test scores, and it sits below the district in nearly every reported measure. Primary cannot be judged academically from this data, since it has no ILEARN records in this list and its rank history only goes back to 2008–2011, far too old to reflect current performance.
