The School Accountability Grades for the 2017-2018 school year have been released.
The Indiana Department of Education released the grades Wednesday.
Roughly 22 percent of schools improved one or more letter grades, with nearly 9 percent improving their letter grade to an A.
Overall, close to 64 percent of schools received an A or B.
Due to differences between federal and state accountability standards, federal accountability grades were also released: roughly 67 percent of public schools received the same letter grade for both state and federal accountability systems, with 31 percent of schools receiving a higher letter grade on state systems.
