Statewide test results: 78 percent of Century Jr/Sr failed English language arts

Scores2

About 22 percent of Century Jr/Sr High School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 78 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 Century Jr/Sr High School English language scores, about 22 percent met expectations and none 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 31 percent approached expectations, while 24 percent partially met expectations and 23 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 Century Jr/Sr High School, which enrolled 207 students in 2017, fell below state averages.

Statewide, 37 percent of students passed the test and 63 percent failed.

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