Statewide test results: 62 percent of Cobden Junior students failed math

Grade school 04

About 38 percent of Cobden Junior High School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 62 percent of students failed, according to a Southern Illinois News 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 Cobden Junior High School math scores, about 36 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 32 percent approached expectations, while 19 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 Cobden Junior High School, which enrolled 133 students in 2017, surpassed state averages.

Statewide, 31 percent of students passed the test and 69 percent failed.

Of students statewide who passed, only five percent 'exceeded' expectations.
