Statewide test results: 70 percent of Hampshire students failed math

Grade school 05

About 30 percent of Hampshire Middle School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 70 percent of students failed, according to a Kane County Reporter 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 Hampshire Middle School math scores, about 28 percent met expectations and 2 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 37 percent approached expectations, while 23 percent partially met expectations and 10 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 Hampshire Middle School, which enrolled 956 students in 2017, 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.
