Grade school districts in Belleville, Madison and East Saint Louis ranked among Metro East's highest for math aptitude, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.
As part of the annual Partnership For Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers ("PARCC") examination, Illinois public school students in grades three through eight are tested based on Common Core math standards.
