Summary:
The 46808 zip code area in Fort Wayne, Indiana is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 alternative school. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance among these institutions, with Franke Park Elementary School standing out as the top performer in the area.
Franke Park Elementary School boasts the highest overall ILEARN proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the other elementary schools in the data set. It also holds the highest 3-year statewide school ranking, placing it in the top 60% of Indiana elementary schools. In contrast, Bloomingdale Elementary School has the lowest proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels, performing below the district and state averages on ILEARN assessments.
The data also highlights the challenges faced by high-poverty schools in the area, with all three elementary schools having high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.96% to 81.4%. This economic disadvantage likely contributes to the lower academic outcomes observed. Additionally, the Allen County Juvenile Center, an alternative school, serves a unique population with specialized needs, as evidenced by its low student-teacher ratio and poor test score performance, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support.
