The Indiana Department of Education (INDOE) released the 2017-18 School Accountability Grades on Wednesday. Roughly 22% of schools improved one or more letter grades with nearly 9 percent improving their letter grade to an A. Overall, close to 64% of schools received an A or B.
Grades are given based on academic growth and performance on state English and math exams.
High school grades are based on the same, with an added category: multiple measures, which gives schools scores for graduation rates and share of students who demonstrate they are “college and/or career-ready.”
