Statewide test results: 90 percent of Kankakee Junior students failed math

Scores7

About 10 percent of Kankakee Junior High School students passed annual math assessments in 2018 and 90 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 Kankakee Junior High School math scores, about 10 percent met expectations and 0.8 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 21 percent approached expectations, while 34 percent partially met expectations and 35 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 Kankakee Junior High School, which enrolled 693 students in 2018, fell below state averages.

Statewide, 31 percent of students passed the test and 69 percent failed.

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