Results from the 2017 ISTEP exam remain nearly unchanged after an overhaul of the standardized test caused pass rates to plummet two years ago.

ISTEP scores from Spring 2017 are scheduled to be released Wednesday. The standardized exam is used to calculate a school’s state A-to-F accountability grade.

The Department of Education says testing company Pearson incorrectly told schools to allow calculator use during a particular section of the ISTEP exam.

Lawmakers sent a bill to Gov. Eric Holcomb that would replace the much derided ISTEP test with a new standarized exam in 2019.

The Indiana Senate approved a bill Tuesday setting guidelines for ILEARN, a new standardized test that will replace the troubled ISTEP exam in 2019.

A bill to overhaul Indiana’s standardized tests passed out of a Senate committee Wednesday but some lawmakers say the legislation doesn't go far enough.

The Indiana House passed legislation Monday to replace the ISTEP exam starting in the 2018-19 school year.

Plus, proposed bills on school start date, preschool expansion, and ISTEP+'s replacement gained ground this week.

Lawmakers argued over the future of Indiana’s student testing system Thursday as legislation to make a new statewide assessment inched closer to approval.

Proposed legislation from the Indiana House’s top education lawmaker would end the state’s controversial ISTEP+ exam in 2018 and pave the way for a yet-to-be determined replacement.
