Schools in Zip Code 46845

ZIP code 46845 in Fort Wayne contains five schools — four elementary schools and one middle school, serving roughly 3,283 students in grades K–8 — with no high schools or alternative schools located inside the ZIP. Four of the five schools belong to Northwest Allen County Schools (NACS): Maple Creek Middle School, Perry Hill Elementary School, Cedar Canyon Elementary School, and Oak View Elementary School. The fifth, Cedarville Elementary School, is part of East Allen County Schools (EACS).

Oak View is the ZIP's top performer, ranking 90 out of 1,015 elementary schools statewide with 5 stars and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 1.8%. Cedar Canyon is close behind at 112 of 1,015 with 4 stars and has improved its rank three years running. Perry Hill is a solid 4-star school but posts the lowest ELA score among the NACS elementaries. Maple Creek, the only middle school and the largest school at 1,024 students, ranks 58 of 486 middle schools with 4 stars and strong 7th grade results. Cedarville is the striking outlier: its district ranks only 204 of 374 with 2 stars, yet the school posts the highest ELA (80.23%) and math (79.07%) proficiency in the ZIP. Note that Cedarville serves grades K–3, so its scores are effectively 3rd grade results.

Across the ZIP, chronic absenteeism is low at every school — all below the state's 16.7% — with Oak View lowest at 1.8% and Maple Creek highest at 5.3%. Cedarville has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (25.52%) and the highest per-student spending ($9,834), while Maple Creek spends the least ($8,064). Cedar Canyon has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (9.65%) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (15.0). Recent trends are mixed: Cedar Canyon and Perry Hill improved in math, science, and social studies, Cedarville's ELA rose while its math fell, and Oak View slipped from very high prior-year levels but remains a top-ranked 5-star school.
