Allen County Juvenile Center

Summary:

Allen County Juvenile Center is a small alternative public school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade as part of the Fort Wayne Community Schools district. With a student population of just 25, the school stands out for its diverse racial makeup and low chronic absenteeism, but struggles academically compared to nearby schools.

While the racial composition of Allen County Juvenile Center has shifted over the past three years, becoming more diverse with increases in Hispanic and Asian students, the nearby Fort Wayne Virtual Academy has a higher percentage of White students. Notably, Allen County Juvenile Center has maintained a 0% chronic absenteeism rate, far lower than the 28.8% rate at Fort Wayne Virtual Academy. However, the school's academic performance is concerning, with 0% of 11th-grade students proficient in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing and SAT/Mathematics, compared to the district's 34.92% and 12.92% proficiency rates in those subjects.

Other factors that differentiate Allen County Juvenile Center include its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 0.9 to 2.7 students per teacher, and its fluctuating free and reduced-price lunch rates, which suggest the school serves a population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds. While the specialized approach may benefit the unique needs of the student population, the academic struggles indicate that more targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Allen County Juvenile Center.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
