Statewide test results: 85 percent of Quest Charter School failed English language arts

Scores9

About 15 percent of Quest Charter School Academy students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 85 percent of students failed, according to a Peoria Standard 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 Quest Charter School Academy English language scores, about 14 percent met expectations and 0.3 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 27 percent approached expectations, while 33 percent partially met expectations and 26 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 Quest Charter School Academy, which enrolled 597 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.
