Summary:

ZIP code 46804 in Fort Wayne, Indiana is home to two elementary schools — Whispering Meadow Elementary School (PK–5, 535 students) and Haverhill Elementary School (K–5, 396 students) — together enrolling 931 students in the MSD Southwest Allen County Schls district, which ranks 32nd of 374 Indiana districts (91st percentile, 5 stars).

Haverhill is the standout. In 2025–2026 it ranked 34th of 1,015 elementary schools (97th percentile, 5 stars), roughly the top 3.4% statewide, up from 147th (85th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024. Its all-grade proficiency beats both district and state in ELA (71.66%), math (72.73%), and science (68.75%), and its 4th-grade math (75%) and 5th-grade social studies (73.85%) are especially strong. Whispering Meadow is the improvement story, climbing 220 positions to 313th of 1,015 (69th percentile, 3 stars) and moving from 2 to 3 stars. Its ELA rose from 36.59% to 49.81%, math from 39.49% to 49.24%, and 5th-grade social studies from 36.05% to 59.38%, though all-grade ELA, math, and science remain below district averages. At Whispering Meadow, 4th-grade math (48.31%) and 5th-grade math (39.58%) fall below state averages.

Both schools share a major strength: 0.5% chronic absenteeism, far below the district’s 0.7% and the state’s 16.7%. Free/reduced lunch rates are similar (31.03% at Whispering Meadow, 28.79% at Haverhill), so that alone does not explain the outcome gap — Haverhill spends less per student ($10,941 vs $11,457) with a lower student-teacher ratio (13.5 vs 14.9). In 2025–2026 all-grade results, Haverhill still leads Whispering Meadow by 21.85 points in ELA, 23.49 in math, and 15.94 in science.
