What is ILEARN?
First implemented in 2019 to replace ISTEP testing, ILEARN serves as the state's accountability test, assessing students in grades 3-8 in English and math. ILEARN also tests fourth- and sixth-grade students in science and tests fifth-grade students in social studies.
The ILEARN assessments are taken by students in person on computers, adapting to the student as the test progresses.
