What this means: About 13% of students here test proficient in math and reading, below the roughly 34% typical for Indiana schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations compares each school with others at the same poverty level, not by raw scores, so a school lands here when its results trail those comparable schools, which is not the same as having low scores. A higher-scoring school can still fall in this tier if similar schools score higher still.
BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →

From the Jefferson Traditional 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 17.3% mean for English Language Arts at Jefferson Traditional School?
It means about 17.3 percent of students tested at Jefferson Traditional 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.
