Best School Districts in Indiana (2026)

This ranking covers 269 rated public school districts in Indiana, scored using Indiana ILEARN 2024–25 state assessment data (with older EDFacts data for a few districts). Each district's reading and math proficiency rates are averaged, then ranked against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score.

A district's score reflects how its students perform on state assessments relative to same-state peers — it is not a direct measure of teaching quality, school culture, or individual student outcomes. Always visit schools, talk to local families, and contact districts directly before making decisions. Learn how ratings are calculated →
