No Improvement in ISTEP Statewide

Indiana students have not improved much on ISTEP tests since last year. Statewide results released yesterday indicate that about 70 percent of students in grades three to 10 passed the English portion of the ISTEP-Plus test, while a little more than 72 percent passed the math section. The state’s superintendent of public instruction says the stagnant numbers should be, as she puts it, “a call to action for local schools and communities.”
