2011 Public Law 221 (P.L. 221)

Public Law 221 (P.L. 221) is Indiana’s comprehensive accountability system for K-12 education. Passed by the Indiana General Assembly in 1999 (prior to the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001), the law aimed to establish major educational reform and accountability statewide. To measure progress, P.L. 221 places Indiana schools (both public and accredited non-public) into one of five categories based upon student performance and improvement data from the state’s ISTEP+ and End-of-Course Assessments.

• A (Exemplary Progress)
• B (Commendable Progress)
• C (Academic Progress)
• D (Academic Watch – Priority)
• F (Academic Probation – High Priority)
