State of Indiana Releases School & School Corporation A-F Grades, Frankfort & Clinton Central Appeal Grade

The Office of Accountability for the Indiana Department of Education has released the 2018-2019 A-F Grades for Schools and School Corporations.

Public Law 2-2020, signed into law by Governor Holcomb on February 12, 2020, requires that a school’s A-F grade for the 2018-2019 school year may not be lower than that same school’s A-F grade for the 2017-2018 school year. In order to determine the final 2018-2019 A-F grade for each school, the Indiana Department of Education (Department) compared each school’s 2017-2018 grade to its 2018-2019 grade, as calculated pursuant to 511 IAC 6.2-10, and assigned the better grade received by the school between these two school years. Schools received all performance and accountability data for the 2018-2019 school year regardless of the hold harmless application.

The provided image shows the grades assigned to the respective schools and school corporations in Clinton County.

The Community Schools of Frankfort and Clinton Central School Corporation have each appealed its assigned corporation grade. They are 2 of 7 corporations in the state that have appealed.
