Recent discussions
From the Benton Elementary School community.How to read these scores
What is ILEARN?
Indiana public-school students in grades 3 through 8 take ILEARN each spring in English Language Arts and Math, plus Science (grades 4/6) and Social Studies (grade 5). High school students take ILEARN Biology as part of the state assessment system.
What does "% At or Above Proficiency" mean?
It is the percentage of students at the school who scored at "At Proficiency" or "Above Proficiency" on ILEARN (top 2 of 4 performance levels: Below, Approaching, At, Above). At and above means the student is performing at or beyond grade-level expectations. A higher number is better.
What does 50.7% mean for English Language Arts at Benton Elementary School?
It means about 50.7 percent of students tested at Benton Elementary School performed at grade level or above on the ILEARN English Language Arts test in 2024-25. The statewide average for Indiana that year was 39.2%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Indiana, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Indiana Department of Education (IDOE), Indiana Learning Evaluation Assessment Readiness Network (ILEARN). School-level results published annually in Excel format on the IDOE Data Center. Headline metric is the cumulative "At Proficiency + Above Proficiency" rate (top 2 of 4 ILEARN performance levels).
How often is it updated?
ILEARN is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
