Statewide test results: 72 percent of Pearl City Junior students failed math

Grade school 04

About 28 percent of Pearl City Junior High School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and nearly three quarters 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 Pearl City Junior High School math scores, about 28 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 41 percent approached expectations, while 17 percent partially met expectations and 15 percent did not meet them. Students who scored in these categories are not ready for the next level of schooling, according to the test.

Test results at Pearl City Junior High School, which enrolled 69 students in 2017, fell below state averages.

Statewide, 31 percent of students passed the test and 69 percent failed.

Of students statewide who passed, only five percent 'exceeded' expectations.
