State schools Superintendent Jennifer McCormick says keeping the 10th grade ISTEP exam for now is more practical than creating a new test for two years.

At Arlington High School, on Indianapolis' east side, more than 200 students -- including the entire junior class -- have yet to pass a standardized test required to earn a high school diploma. The staff goes to extreme measures to make sure all kids take the test.

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.
