INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) today released results from the spring 2024 administration of the Indiana Learning Evaluation and Readiness Network (ILEARN).

Most grade levels (3-8) had a slight increase in English/Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, while Math proficiency slightly decreased following significant growth since the pandemic.

Statewide, 41 percent of Indiana’s students are at or above proficiency standards in ELA, and 40.7 percent of students are at or above proficiency standards in Math.

Key takeaways from data released today:

• Since the 2021 baseline, ELA proficiency has increased across most grade levels. 
  • Third grade: 0.1 percentage point decrease*
    (Note: Many students in third grade in 2024 received instruction in either a fully or partially virtual setting during kindergarten due to the pandemic. Data show that in-person instruction is key to student success.)

  • Fifth grade: 0.8 percentage point increase 
  • Sixth grade: 1.2 percentage point increase
  • Seventh grade: 0.7 percentage point increase

  • Sixth grade: 5.1 percentage point increase 
  • Seventh grade: 3.4 percentage point increase
  • Eighth grade: 3.6 percentage point increase

“While many grades have seen increases in both ELA and math proficiency over the past three years, we must continue to keep our foot on the gas pedal to ensure all students have a solid academic foundation in order to maximize their future opportunities,” said Dr. Katie Jenner, Indiana Secretary of Education. “A number of key tactics have been put in place to support educators, parents/families and students. It is essential that our local schools and parents/families continue to work together and stay laser-focused on improving student learning in ELA, as well as math. As we urgently work to improve student learning, the new ILEARN Checkpoints, launching as a pilot in the upcoming school year, will provide more actionable data throughout the year, resulting in more strategic, increased support for our students.”

Results of the 2023-2024 administration of the SAT assessment were also released. The SAT serves as the federal accountability high school assessment for 11th grade students in Indiana.
