Statewide test results: 74 percent of Roxana Junior failed English language arts

Scores16

About 26 percent of Roxana Junior High School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2018 and nearly three quarters of students failed, according to a Metro East 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 Roxana Junior High School English language scores, about 23 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 33 percent approached expectations, while 23 percent partially met expectations and 18 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 Roxana Junior High School, which enrolled 412 students in 2018, fell below state averages.

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

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