INDIANAPOLIS â After school years disrupted by COVID-19, most educators expected standardized test scores to suffer. That panned out, both statewide and locally as most school districts saw passing rates for Indianaâs ILEARN test drop in 2021, with some districts losing 10 percentage points or more compared to their 2019 figures. To start with, ILEARN has never had good passing rates â the wide majority of students in Indiana donât pass both math and English portions of the standardized test, which is given to students in grade 3-8 as well as high school sophomores. Statewide, the 2021 passing rate for both portions of the test dropped to 28.6%, a sharp decrease from 37.1% passing rate in the 2019 testing season.
