Summary:
The 46809 zip code area in Fort Wayne, Indiana is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Waynedale Elementary School and Indian Village Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Kekionga Middle School). While the schools face some persistent challenges, a few stand out for their relatively stronger academic performance.
Waynedale Elementary School has the highest overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the other schools in the area. In 2024-2025, Waynedale Elementary had 28.57% of students proficient or better in ELA, 30.29% in Math, and 37.5% in Science, all of which were higher than the Fort Wayne Community Schools district and state averages. Indian Village Elementary School also had the second-highest overall proficiency rates in ELA and Math.
However, the schools in the 46809 zip code area face some common challenges. All three schools had chronic absenteeism rates higher than the state average, and they struggled with low proficiency rates, particularly in Math. For example, in 2024-2025, Kekionga Middle School had only 9.42% of students proficient or better in Math, well below the district and state averages. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients also suggest these schools serve predominantly low-income communities, which may contribute to the academic challenges they face.
