Database: ILEARN English and math proficiency exam pass rates for Indiana schools

Indiana students remain far behind academically after the disruption caused by the global pandemic. About three out of 10 elementary and middle school students are considered proficient in both the state math and reading standards, according to newly released scores from the 2023 ILEARN assessment.

The results are largely stagnant compared to last year. On the math exam, 40.9 percent of elementary and middle school children passed, 1.5 percentage points higher than 2022. In English language arts, 40.7 percent of students passed the exam, a dip of 0.5 percentage points.
