Indiana Department of Education — Reports & Studies

Our intention is to partner with the Indiana Department of Education to modernize education for Indiana's most important demographic — our children.

We're building educational systems that learn alongside each student, and understand the needs of each individual.

The reports below are work we've already done for you.

Can you pass third grade?

Sit the Indiana grade 3 assessment yourself — the same segments, item types, on-screen tools and cut scores.

IREAD-3 across its three segments, ILEARN mathematics and English/language arts, the checkpoint, and the writing performance task. Read-aloud items, the highlighter, masking, the line reader, the equation keypad — all of it. Scoring runs against Indiana's published cut scores, and the score report is written three ways: for the student, for the teacher, and for the family. Every result posts to a shared board against the state's own proficiency rate.

Meet IREAD-4 — the upgrade

Our early reading identifier, given three times a year: it catches reading and dyslexia risk early — wrapped in a personalized learning companion the student, teacher, and family share.

Everything the grade-3 replica does, plus the Luminary layer. A dyslexia-sensitive early screen and full-spectrum reader profiles, a Simple-View reading plan, and a companion that learns what each student loves: interest-themed reading games whose wins feed the plan, read-aloud practice that listens and scores (Listenr), “come back to this” bookmarks, a teacher curriculum the games align to, and a shared picture for the whole circle. Built on the five pillars of reading — and designed so a reading difficulty is identified, made known, and then made not a barrier.

What the assessments measure, and what the results show

An analytical briefing on both instruments: how they are built, what the trend data says through 2025, and what changed underneath the 2026 numbers.

Instrument anatomy for both tests, statewide results through 2025 with subgroup breakdowns, how the IREAD pass rate is constructed, the science-of-reading policy stack, the returning A–F accountability model, and the evidence on both sides of each question. Every figure traced to a primary source, with the gaps in the public record named rather than papered over.

IDOE · Active Systems Map

The Indiana K-12 technology landscape at a glance — every domain, how they connect, and the vendor money moving through them.

A master map of the systems IDOE actually runs: the domains, the connections between them, deep dives into each platform, a leadership-action timeline (2018-2026), and a vendor-payment read with year-over-year totals and quarterly heatmaps. Built to show, at a glance, what's already in place — and where modernization can start without breaking what works.
