Summary:

ZIP code 46806 in Fort Wayne has five elementary schools serving about 2,260 students in pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Four belong to Fort Wayne Community Schools — Weisser Park Elementary School, Merle J Abbett Elementary School, Levan R Scott Academy, and John S Irwin Elementary School — while Timothy L Johnson Academy is a separate charter district. Test scores and ranks are from 2025–2026, and the schools serve a high-need population, with an average free/reduced lunch rate of 71.5%.

John S Irwin Elementary School is the standout, ranking 467 of 1,015 schools (54th percentile, 3 stars), far above the Fort Wayne Community Schools district profile of 27th percentile and 1 star. It leads the group in all-grade ELA (45.83%), science (38%), and 5th-grade social studies (54.17%), with chronic absenteeism of just 3.6%. Weisser Park Elementary School is second, at the 44th percentile with 2 stars and the best all-grade math (42.32%), with 9.1% chronic absenteeism. The remaining three trail well behind: Levan R Scott Academy at the 12th percentile with 1 star, Timothy L Johnson Academy at the 8th percentile with 0 stars, and Merle J Abbett Elementary School at the 6th percentile with 0 stars.

Attendance tracks closely with achievement. The two strongest schools average 6.4% chronic absenteeism versus 27.1% for the bottom three, all of which exceed the state's 16.7%. Spending does not explain the gap: the top two and bottom three average nearly identical per-student spending, around $13,500. Trends are mixed — Weisser Park's science fell from 48.41% to 27.97%, while Levan R Scott's math rose from 10.7% to 22.45% — and bright spots are grade-specific, such as Irwin's 4th-grade math at 56% against Timothy's 4th-grade ELA at 5%.
