Indiana is pursuing a significant overhaul of its school accountability and graduation systems, aiming to better align education with students’ long-term goals. Rather than relying primarily on standardized test scores, the proposed model would evaluate schools based on a broader set of outcomes, including attendance, college and career readiness, work-based learning, and other indicators of student progress. The approach reflects a shift toward measuring how well schools prepare students for life after graduation, not just their performance on exams. Supporters argue that this “whole-student” framework offers families clearer information about how schools help students build real-world skills and pursue diverse pathways after high school. For states like Florida—already focused on expanding career education and strengthening school accountability—the Indiana proposal provides a useful case study. As policymakers continue refining education reforms, the model highlights how accountability systems can evolve to capture a fuller picture of student success and better connect schooling with workforce and postsecondary opportunities.
