10 northeast Indiana districts lead in English, math proficiency

Ten northeast Indiana school districts have been recognized among Indiana’s best for proficiency in both English and math.

The distinction covers performance in two core academic subjects: English and mathematics. It identifies districts that met the measure for both subjects rather than for only one.

The recognition does not identify the districts, report their scores or state how they compare with one another. Those details are necessary for readers to evaluate the size of the differences among districts and to understand the measure used.

The Journal Gazette reported on the northeast Indiana districts included in the recognition. The report’s linked state record is the relevant place to check the underlying proficiency information when the district names and results are reviewed.

For families, proficiency results are one way to understand district performance. They do not, by themselves, describe every part of a school’s work or each student’s experience.
