Summary:

ZIP code 46783 has 2 public schools, both elementary: Lafayette Meadow School (K–5, 604 students) in MSD Southwest Allen County Schls, and Roanoke Elementary School (PK–5, 402 students) in Huntington County Com School Corp. Total elementary enrollment is 1,006 students, and there are no middle, high, or alternative schools here, so families will need to look outside the ZIP for later grades.

Lafayette Meadow School is the stronger performer in absolute terms, ranking 78th of 1,015 Indiana schools in 2025–2026 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) within a district ranked 32nd of 374 (91st percentile, 5 stars). Its all-grade proficiency was 64.81% in ELA, 72.13% in Math, and 60.20% in Science, and its chronic absenteeism was just 0.3% versus 0.7% districtwide and 16.7% statewide. Roanoke Elementary School is the standout relative to its district: it earned 4 stars and ranked 271st of 1,015 (73rd percentile) while its district ranked 160th of 374 (57th percentile, 3 stars), and it beat its district by +9.75 points in ELA, +21.46 in Math, and +12.93 in Science. Its absenteeism was 10.4%, better than the state but well above Lafayette's.

The two schools have similar free/reduced lunch rates (26.49% vs. 29.35%), yet Lafayette's overall scores are substantially higher. Lafayette spends $1,698 more per student ($11,116 vs. $9,418) and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio (15.3 vs. 14.2), so spending and class size do not line up simply with outcomes. Trends also differ: Lafayette raised all-grade ELA from 56.81% to 64.81% and Math from 64.67% to 72.13%, while Roanoke's ELA and Math slipped slightly and its Science rose from 49.25% to 55.38%. Fifth-grade Social Studies reversed sharply — Roanoke led at 72.46% in 2024–2025 to Lafayette's 43.01%, but Lafayette led in 2025–2026 at 69.47% to Roanoke's 54.05%.
