Statewide test results: 82 percent of Carpentersville failed English language arts

Scores1

About 18 percent of Carpentersville Middle School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 82 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 Carpentersville Middle School English language scores, about 17 percent met expectations and 1 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 23 percent approached expectations, while 34 percent partially met expectations and 25 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 Carpentersville Middle School, which enrolled 1,224 students in 2017, fell below state averages.

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

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