Indiana school corporations are working with newspapers across the state to publish education report cards for local communities. Required for publication by Jan. 31 under state law, the Annual Performance Reports include the most recent data available on student test scores, graduation rates, school safety, teacher salaries, school corporation expenditures and more.

"From standardized test scores to graduation rates, we must always aim high and keep constant score of how Indiana schools are serving their students," said Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett. "The annual performance reports offer an important opportunity for local communities to track their schools' progress."

The Annual Performance Reports are part of an ongoing effort to encourage Hoosiers to become more knowledgeable about their schools and for schools to become more accountable to the public they serve. To provide an even clearer picture of local schools, the Indiana Department of Education makes additional detailed information available yearround online at www.doe.in.gov/schooldata.

The School Performance Reports for Delphi Community, Carroll Consolidated, Rossville Consolidated, and Twin Lakes school corporations can be found in the second section on pages 3, 5, 6 and 7B.
