Van Duyn Elementary of the South Vermillion Community School Corporation was honored for achieving 95.10% reading proficiency.
Governor Eric J. Holcomb and Indiana Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner recognized educators from 283 schools where at least 95% of students demonstrated reading proficiency in 2024 at a ceremony at the Indiana Statehouse on Wednesday.
During the state’s first literacy celebration last February, 241 schools were recognized for reaching the statewide literacy goal, as demonstrated during the 2023 administration of the IREAD assessment. Wednesday's celebration marked an increase of more than 40 additional schools that are now meeting this important goal.
“Our statewide goal of achieving 95% reading proficiency among Indiana students is ever closer because of the work these schools have done and continue to do every day,” said Gov. Holcomb. “Reading is foundational to all other educational and quality of life goals we set as a state, and I want to commend the educators at each of the schools honored today for their commitment to a brighter future for our students and the state of Indiana.”
Van Duyn Elementary of the South Vermillion Community School Corporation was honored for achieving 95.10% reading proficiency.
To support schools and educators, as well as parents and families, in preparing students with foundational reading skills, Indiana continues to make historic investments in literacy, totaling over $170 million.
