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 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.
