Elementaryschool085

Academic results data released recently reveals 20 percent of West Central Elementary School students are considered on track for the next grade level, according to a Galesburg Reporter analysis of the latest Illinois schools report card.

The end-of-year tests known as the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, are administered to third- through eighth-graders in Illinois, testing them in reading and math based on Common Core standards. A composite score combines the results of the subject tests.

Composite scores for West Central Elementary School show about 20 percent met expectations and none exceeded them. Students whose results are in either category passed the tests and are considered prepared for the next grade level, college or work.

Another 30 percent approached expectations, 24 percent partially met expectations and 26 percent did not meet expectations. Students who scored in these categories are not ready for the next level of schooling, according to the test.

Test results at West Central Elementary School, which enrolled 341 students in 2017, fell below state averages.

Statewide, 34 percent of students passed the test and 66 percent failed.

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