As many Indiana students walk into school buildings this month, the state is now looking at how students learned and how many students showed up in the 2020-21 school year, the first full year in the pandemic. 

The data Indiana collected last school year offers some surprising insights into how schools taught — in-person, virtual, or a combination of the two. The data also reveals differences in In learning opportunities, a state education report has shown.

The chart below lists all public schools in Indiana, and what percentage of the school year they offered instruction virtually, in person, and in a hybrid form. It also lists self-reported attendance rates for each school.
