Scores10

About 34 percent of Minooka Elementary School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 66 percent of students failed, according to a Illinois Valley Times 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 Minooka Elementary School English language scores, about 32 percent met expectations and 2 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 34 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 Minooka Elementary School, which enrolled 575 students in 2017, fell below state averages.

Statewide, 37 percent of students passed the test and 63 percent failed.

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