Statewide test results: 72 percent of Joppa Junior & Senior students failed math

Grade school 02

About 28 percent of Joppa Junior & Senior High School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and nearly three quarters 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 Joppa Junior & Senior High School math scores, about 25 percent met expectations and 3 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 43 percent approached expectations, while 25 percent partially met expectations and 5 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 Joppa Junior & Senior High School, which enrolled 118 students in 2017, 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.
