Statewide test results: 94 percent of Edison Primary failed English language arts

Scores14

About 6 percent of Edison Primary School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2018 and 94 percent of students failed, according to a Kankakee Times 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 Edison Primary School English language scores, about 6 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 23 percent approached expectations, while 24 percent partially met expectations and 47 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 Edison Primary School, which enrolled 238 students in 2018, surpassed state averages.

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

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