Northwest and Southwest Allen County school districts both ranked in the top 10 districts throughout Indiana based on millions of reviews from students and parents and using data from the U.S. Department of Education.

Southwest Allen was ranked fifth best in the state, Northwest Allen was ranked seventh.

The ranking factors include state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, and teacher quality.
