Fewer than 3 in 10 Marion County students passed Indiana’s ILEARN exam, revealing deep racial and district-level achievement gaps.

A national assessment shows Indiana students have not made significant gains in math in recent years. The proposed interventions are similar to what lawmakers approved last year in an effort to boost low reading scores.

This year nearly seven out of 10 students are not considered proficient in both the math and English language arts state standards.

The most recent data on how many students at each Indiana school are proficient in the mathematics and English/language arts.

A new law requires a science based way of teaching literacy for K-12 schools and educator prep programs. Can this reverse Indiana's decline in literacy?

The statewide ILEARN test will look different over the next few years as the Indiana Department of Education works to redesign the test. The IDOE says the redesign will improve the tests quality and usefulness to educators by including three new checkpoints, flexible scheduling, and a shortened final assessment at the end of the year.

In English language arts, 40.7 percent of students passed the exam, a dip of 0.5 percentage points.

The Indiana Department of Education has not taken any official action yet on the ILEARN redesign, but state officials kicked off discussions about the process at Wednesdays State Board of Education meeting.
