Summary:
ZIP code 46816 in Fort Wayne, Indiana contains a single public high school: East Allen University, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 291 students. It is part of East Allen County Schools. Because this ZIP has only one high school, there is no local peer comparison to make — the useful picture comes from comparing the school against its district, the state, and its own past years.
The school's strongest selling point is that it performs well above the district that contains it. The district is rated 2 stars and sits in the 45th percentile of Indiana districts, while East Allen University holds 4 stars and ranks 119th of 415 high schools statewide — the 71st percentile — and has earned 4 stars in each of the last three school years. Graduation is a clear strength: 100% in 2024–25, compared with 92.6% for the district and 89.7% statewide. Reading results are similarly strong — 61.11% proficiency on the 11th-grade SAT EBRW versus 49.63% in the district and 51.9% in the state — and Biology proficiency of 57.14% is far above the district's 40.77%.
Math is the school's clear weak spot. SAT Math proficiency of 15.28% trails both the district (20.17%) and the state (25.6%), leaving a reading-to-math gap of 45.8 points — noticeably wider than the state's 26.3-point spread. Chronic absenteeism, at 22.3%, is also above the district (18.7%) and state (16.7%), even as graduation stays perfect. About 72.16% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, so these results come from a largely economically disadvantaged student body. Per-student spending is $10,830 with a student–teacher ratio of 17.2 — a fairly typical resource level, suggesting the strong reading and graduation outcomes reflect effective practice rather than extra resources.
