Final results for the 2023-2024 IREAD 3 test have been released and North West Hendricks Schools ranks number ONE IN THE STATE! This a tremendous accomplishment and a true reflection of the incredible work by our administrators, coaches, teachers, and support staff. "This is another great success as part of our Teaching and Learning pillar in our strategic plan", according to Superintendent Dr. Syverson.
According to IPB News, Kristen Adaire, Indiana students made small gains in reading this year. Scores for IREAD-3 – the state’s third grade reading exam – are at their highest level in recent years, but still well below pre-pandemic scores.
The pass rate increased to 82.5 percent this year. That’s more than four points below pre-pandemic levels. However, Indiana Secretary of Education Katie Jenner said the 0.6 percentage point increase from last year’s scores shows the state’s interventions like the Indiana Literacy Cadre and testing second graders are working.
“It is exciting to have the highest year-over-year increase ever in history since the start of the test,” she said.
