Scores23

About 22 percent of Larsen Middle School students passed annual math assessments in 2018 and 78 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 Larsen Middle School math scores, about 20 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 28 percent approached expectations, while 29 percent partially met expectations and 21 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 Larsen Middle School, which enrolled 679 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.
