6.1 Assessment Overview (Indiana)
Indiana students are required to participate in state-mandated assessments as part of the Choice Scholarship Program.
Statewide testing provides valuable information that helps improve instruction, allocate resources, and support student success. For more information, visit the Indiana Department of Education’s Assessment landing page.
What To Expect From In-Person Assessments
OpenEd will work closely with our school partners and local testing providers to coordinate assessment opportunities as close to families as possible. Our goal is always to make the process clear, organized, and low-stress for both students and parents.
You'll receive regular communication from our team throughout the assessment process, including important dates, locations, scheduling details, and next steps.
Whenever possible, assessment locations and testing windows will be shared at least one month in advance so families have time to plan.
OpenEd will directly manage the assessment experience, and members of our team will be available on-site during testing to help support students, families, and proctors.
If questions come up at any point along the way, our team is always here to help!
Important: The state of Indiana does not permit personal Chromebooks to be used for assessments unless they are managed and configured according to specific state policies. Please see Indiana's Assessment Technology Policy for more information.
Tech Recs
We recommend utilizing your program funds to acquire a Windows device for virtual testing.
In the past, parents have had some difficulties using Chromebooks or Macs for virtual tests.
How To Find Assessment Info In-Platform
After logging into the OpenEd platform, click on the Assessments menu option from the lefthand sidebar.

Each tile includes a short description, the dates of the assessment's testing windows, and details on whether your student already has a testing date scheduled.
After your student's assessment results are ready, we'll upload them on this same page. It's a one-stop shop for everything you need to know!

Assessments That Affect Indiana Students
Take a look at the table below for an overview of Indiana’s assessments for the 26-27 school year and which grades they affect.
Depending on state requirements, this information may be adjusted before the start of the school year.
When your student takes the ILEARN assessment, they will be asked to input their Student Name and ID #.
Please enter your student's legal name, not their preferred name.
You can find their ID # in the top left corner of the OpenEd platform.
