Statewide test results: 66 percent of Genoa-Kingston students failed math

Grade school 05

About 34 percent of Genoa-Kingston Middle School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 66 percent of students failed, according to a DeKalb Times 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 Genoa-Kingston Middle School math scores, about 31 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 33 percent approached expectations, while 21 percent partially met expectations and 13 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 Genoa-Kingston Middle School, which enrolled 416 students in 2017, surpassed state averages.

Statewide, 31 percent of students passed the test and 69 percent failed.

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