US EditionIndiana State Board of Education approves new accountability model
The new model assigns points student-by-student, prioritizing reading, math, and real-world skills with a transition year starting in 2025-26 before accountability begins.
- On Wednesday, the Indiana State Board of Education voted unanimously to adopt a new A-F school grading model, which now heads to Todd Rokita and then Gov. Mike Braun for approval.
- After a decade without updated letter grades, Indiana lawmakers ordered a new student-centered system, developed early last summer to replace the prior dashboard model, IDOE said.
- The model assigns points student by student and averages within elementary, middle, and high school grades, with graduation rate and SAT each worth 10%.
- As a transition, the system uses Year Zero for the 2025-26 school year, with IDOE sharing detailed data later this year and publicly releasing Year Zero grades; an A will range 85 to 100 before cutoffs rise in 2026-27.
- With the federal waiver paused, state officials say they will unpause it shortly as Indiana seeks permission to combine funding from more than 15 federal education programs, and new grades could affect Indianapolis Public Education Corporation school operations.
