Statewide test results: 79 percent of Midwest Central failed English language arts

Scores5

About 21 percent of Midwest Central Middle School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 79 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 Midwest Central Middle School English language scores, about 19 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 36 percent approached expectations, while 26 percent partially met expectations and 17 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 Midwest Central Middle School, which enrolled 245 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.
