Grade school 09

About 24 percent of Paw Paw Jr/Sr High School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 76 percent of students failed, according to a NW Illinois News analysis of the latest Illinois schools report card.

The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, is administered to third- through eighth-graders in Illinois, testing them in reading and math based on Common Core standards.

According to Paw Paw Jr/Sr High School math scores, about 24 percent met expectations and none exceeded them. Students whose results are in either category are considered to be most ready to move on to the next level and are most prepared for college or work.

Another 46 percent approached expectations, while 22 percent partially met expectations and 8 percent did not meet them. Students who scored in these categories are not ready for the next level of schooling, according to the test.
