How many Fulton County students failed their Math exams in 2022?

Scores12

More than 8 in 10 Fulton County public high school students aren't at grade level in Math.

That's according to a Peoria Standard analysis of 2022 test score data compiled by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).

ISBE reports that last year, 81.3 percent of Fulton County's 284 public high school students failed the Math portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and have “minimal (or) incomplete… understanding of the knowledge and skills relative to Illinois Learning Standards.”

Students can achieve four proficiencies in their subjects (partially met, approaching, meets, and exceeds standards). This report concludes students who partially met or approached the standards have failed in the subject.

Cuba Senior High School (96.6 percent), Astoria High School (94.4 percent), and Spoon River Valley Senior High School (91.3 percent) had the highest failure rates in Fulton County. VIT Senior High School (86.3 percent) and Canton High School (71.2 percent) had the lowest.

No Fulton County high schools had a passing rate of more than 50 percent of students.

County-wide, Math test failure rates rose from 78.6 percent in 2019 to 81.3 percent in 2022.

The failure rate increased at four Fulton County high schools in 2022, with the most significant increase happening at Spoon River Valley Senior High School (91.3 percent).

Failure rates rose the most in Coles County (82.7 percent), Mercer County (83.5 percent), Pope County (89.8 percent), Union County (91.3 percent), and Henderson County (92.2 percent).

VIT Senior High School were the only Fulton County high schools to see Math scores improve between 2019 and 2022.

Statewide, 70 percent of Illinois students failed the 2022 state Math exam, up from 64 percent in 2019.

The SAT test is administered to Illinois high school sophomores “to fulfill the requirement that students take an assessment for college and career readiness in order to receive a regular high school diploma.”
