Statewide test results: 90 percent of Northwest failed English language arts

Scores15

About 10 percent of Northwest Elementary School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 90 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 Northwest Elementary School English language scores, about 10 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 26 percent approached expectations, while 36 percent partially met expectations and 28 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 Northwest Elementary School, which enrolled 557 students in 2017, surpassed state averages.

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

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