The Indiana Department of Education released some overall data for high schools around the Hoosier State from the administration of the SAT to 11th graders in the 2023-24 academic year, showing that just 24.1% of juniors in Indiana met the benchmarks for both math and language standards.
The information from the SAT administration reflected student success compared to the established benchmarks in EBRW (Evidence-Based Reading & Writing) and Math, along with a number for students who passed the benchmark in both categories.
Here is a sample of some of the data from schools in Z-Land:
