Following are rankings given to northeast Indiana public schools under the state’s accountability law, Public Law 221. Schools are placed into categories based on their performance and improvement on the state’s ISTEP+ exam and whether they meet the federal accountability law, No Child Left Behind. The highest ranking is exemplary, followed by commendable, academic progress, watch and probation. Some schools are listed as Probation-Year 4, which means they face harsher consequences for being under the label for four consecutive years.
