This year was the fourth time Indiana students have taken ILEARN, the state’s standardized test that assesses proficiency in math and English/language arts in grades 3-8. 'I think our challenge is to notice the improvements like we saw this year in math, but also look at the areas that we have to keep on focusing and keep that motivation to keep the progression going,' Jenner told IndyStar. Indiana Secretary of Education Katie Jenner said after a state board of education meeting Wednesday that recovery from the pandemic will take multiple years but school districts need to keep focusing on what is working. In 2019, students had an overall proficiency rate of 47.9% in ELA, 47.8% in math and 37.1% for both subjects. Students’ combined proficiency rate for ELA and math was virtually unchanged, from 30.2% last year to 30.6% now.Īll of the results are much lower than in 2019, the first time ILEARN was administered and before schools faced massive learning disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic starting the next year. But scores for English language arts dropped, going from 41.2% to 40.7% proficient in ELA standards. The 2023 ILEARN scores, released Wednesday, showed that students gained slightly from last year’s results when it came to math, going from a 39.4% proficiency rate last year to 40.9% students being at or above proficiency standards in math this year. New statewide standardized test results show that Indiana student proficiency rates remain relatively unchanged from last year’s results, showing a slow path of recovery from Hoosier students' COVID disruptions.
