Statewide test results: 74 percent of Thomasboro failed English language arts

Scores12

About 26 percent of Thomasboro Grade School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and nearly three quarters 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 Thomasboro Grade School English language scores, about 24 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 19 percent approached expectations, while 32 percent partially met expectations and 22 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 Thomasboro Grade School, which enrolled 191 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.
