Indiana has the 4th most equitable school districts in the U.S., according to a report from Washington D.C.-based WalletHub. The report scored 289 districts in the state based on average household income and expenditures for public elementary and secondary schools per pupil.

The top three most equitable school districts include South Harrison Community Schools, South Newton School Corp., and Goshen Community Schools, respectively.
