Statewide test results: 84 percent of Bement students failed math

Grade school 07

About 16 percent of Bement Middle School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 84 percent of students failed, according to a Chambana Sun 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 Bement Middle School math scores, about 16 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 33 percent approached expectations, while 32 percent partially met expectations and 19 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 Bement Middle School, which enrolled 72 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.
