"The grades have been given, and the report cards are out. In its biannual 'Measuring Up' report, the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education graded each state on a series of indicators regarding the accessibility of post-secondary education for their respective residents. But while other states might be scampering home to show their parents the results, Indiana has proven to only be 'average' in the categories of preparation (the quality of high school education), participation (the percentage of young people in school) and benefits (the amount that graduates contribute to the economy). Worst of all, Indiana has failed in the affordability category. In fact, the state hasn't experienced a change in affordability since 1992."
