About 27 percent of El Paso-Gridley Junior High School students passed annual math assessments in 2018 and nearly three quarters 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 El Paso-Gridley Junior High School math scores, about 25 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 39 percent approached expectations, while 23 percent partially met expectations and 11 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 El Paso-Gridley Junior High School, which enrolled 372 students in 2018, fell below state averages.
Statewide, 31 percent of students passed the test and 69 percent failed.
Of students statewide who passed, only five percent 'exceeded' expectations.
