Understanding the 7/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Hobart School City 7 out of 10 — above average among Indiana public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Indiana’s ILEARN grades 3–8 assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score.
