Summary:
ZIP code 46806 is home to six schools — five elementary schools and one middle school, with no high school in the area — serving 2,410 students across Fort Wayne Community Schools and two charter campuses, and poverty is a shared reality here: every school has a free or reduced lunch rate between 62.91% and 82.73%.
John S Irwin Elementary School is the clear standout: 3 stars at the 54th percentile, the ZIP's lowest chronic absenteeism at 3.6%, and all-grade proficiency of 45.83% in ELA, 40.97% in math, and 38.0% in science — all above district averages. Weisser Park Elementary School follows with 2 stars at the 44th percentile, 9.1% chronic absenteeism, and the highest elementary math score at 42.32%, achieved on the lowest elementary per-student spending in the ZIP ($12,811).
The other four schools trail well behind. Merle J Abbett Elementary School has 0 stars (6th percentile), the ZIP's highest chronic absenteeism at 31.4%, and ELA of 14.95%. Timothy L Johnson Academy (elementary) has 0 stars, the highest student-teacher ratio at 20, and ELA of 15.63%. Levan R Scott Academy holds 1 star with math at 22.45%, up from 10.7%. Timothy L. Johnson Academy Middle has 0 stars, math at 4.32%, 8th grade math at 0.0%, and the ZIP's highest spending at $16,848. Science is a ZIP-wide weakness, and neither spending nor staffing ratios track closely with outcomes.
