Statewide test results: 76 percent of Amboy Junior students failed math

Grade school 09

About 24 percent of Amboy Junior 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 Amboy Junior High School math scores, about 22 percent met expectations and 1 percent 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 37 percent approached expectations, while 31 percent partially met expectations and 9 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 Amboy Junior High School, which enrolled 213 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.
