We appreciate your understanding and encourage families to contact these organizations directly for enrollment information, transportation details, and program availability for the upcoming school year.

ILEARN RESCORE:

Your student participated in the ILEARN assessments for Grades 3–8 this spring. Due to the implementation of new academic standards and updates to the assessment, new cut scores for English/Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Social Studies will be established in July 2026. As a result, ILEARN results will be delayed this year and will be released in September 2026.

In accordance with Indiana Code 20-32-5.1-13, parents and schools have the opportunity to request a rescore of any open-ended response items on the ILEARN assessment. Students complete two or three open-ended items on the ELA assessment and one or two on the Mathematics assessment.

Important Information Regarding the ILEARN Rescore Process

• The rescore request window is open from Monday, May 11 through Friday, June 5, 2026. Requests submitted outside of this timeframe cannot be processed.
• To review your student’s responses and scoring materials, you must schedule an appointment with your child’s school. Online access to these materials is not available for families.
• During the meeting, you will review the following with your child’s building administrator:
• Your student’s responses to open-ended items
• Sample responses for each score point
• The scoring rubric used to evaluate responses
• If you decide to request a rescore, your child’s Assistant Principal will submit the request on your behalf during the meeting.
• Please note that a rescore may result in a higher score, lower score, or no change in score.
• Once a rescore request is submitted, it cannot be withdrawn or reversed.
• Each assessment item may only be submitted for rescore one time. Multiple requests for the same item are not permitted.
• All assessment materials, including test items, student responses, and scoring rubrics, are secure and confidential. These materials may not be shared, discussed, photographed, or reproduced outside of the meeting. A Non-Disclosure Agreement must be completed before materials may be reviewed.
• Final ILEARN results released in September will include any approved rescore adjustments.
