Statewide test results: 70 percent of Kenwood failed English language arts

Scores19

About 30 percent of Kenwood Elementary School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 70 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 Kenwood Elementary School English language scores, about 27 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 22 percent approached expectations, while 23 percent partially met expectations and 25 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 Kenwood Elementary School, which enrolled 336 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.
