  "account": "Indiana released individual school ILEARN scores on Friday, following the summer release of state-level results. Proficiency rates differed between schools and student demographics, with 42% of Indiana students proficient in English language arts and 43% in math in 2026. Meanwhile, statewide proficiency was 31.5% in both subjects. The new accountability system will use ILEARN scores to assign letter grades to schools, with elementary and middle schools factoring in both proficiency and student growth. This year, students took a shortened version of ILEARN, along with interim checkpoint tests. Only the final test results are publicly reported. State officials advised against comparing 2026 scores to previous years due to the test's changes. Just 29% of students receiving free or reduced-price meals scored proficient in English, compared to 53% of those not receiving such aid. Math scores fell in upper grades, with only 34% of eighth graders proficient in math. Proficiency in English language arts remained steady in third graders, ranging from 41% to 44% through middle school. Below, see how your school performed in the 2026 ILEARN.",
