The 2019 Best School Districts rankings have been released. While you may think this is just another list of Indiana's best schools, there's more to it than meets your eye. We've worked hard behind the scenes to make sure that our readers understand what makes each district great.

We analyzed more than 10 million student reviews submitted to RateMyTeachers.com along with hundreds of thousands parent survey responses collected through GreatSchools.org. We also examined several other data sets, including ACT and SAT scores as well as high school dropout rates and teacher quality.

After analyzing all of this data, we came up a list of the top school districts in the Indianapolis region. These are the districts where kids do well academically, teachers care about their students, and parents feel like their voices matter.
