Should a school grade be impacted in the resolution of the scoring issues, the IDOE will recommend an alteration of the grade to the State Board of Education. e IDOE does not anticipate changes to any school corporation grades. Upon resolution of these scoring issues, the IDOE will review any other measures based school accountability and determine what, if any, changes should be made as a result. e APR is a report on the performance of schools and school corporations (districts) in your area. e goal is to provide information regarding the progress schools are making to help students become college-and–career ready.
