Statewide test results: 85 percent of Edinburg Junior failed English language arts

Scores2

About 15 percent of Edinburg Junior High School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 85 percent of students failed, according to a South Central Reporter 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 Edinburg Junior High School English language scores, about 15 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 24 percent approached expectations, while 32 percent partially met expectations and 29 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 Edinburg Junior High School, which enrolled 47 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.
