Indiana is set to unveil ILEARN results later this week, and officials say the data is a key tool to gauge student learning during the pandemic. But some parents question the value of the test and whether it should really be used to inform policy – especially after last school year.
Early reports of ILEARN results indicate a significant drop in math and English scores. 
Standardized testing data won't be used for school accountability this year, but with billions of COVID-19 relief dollars sent to schools, officials say the data will help inform where to target resources for kids.
