Scores9

About 49 percent of Williamsfield Elementary School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 51 percent of students failed, according to a Galesburg 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 Williamsfield Elementary School English language scores, about 49 percent met expectations and none 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 36 percent approached expectations, while 12 percent partially met expectations and 3 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 Williamsfield Elementary School, which enrolled 127 students in 2017, surpassed state averages.

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

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