About 70 percent of Central Intermediate School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2018 and 30 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 Central Intermediate School English language scores, about 47 percent met expectations and 24 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 20 percent approached expectations, while 7 percent partially met expectations and 2 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 Central Intermediate School, which enrolled 728 students in 2018, surpassed state averages.
Statewide, 37 percent of students passed the test and 63 percent failed.
Of students statewide who passed, only six percent 'exceeded' expectations.
