Scores6

About 24 percent of Chicago Math & Science Elementary Charter students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2018 and 76 percent of students failed, according to a Chicago City Wire 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 Chicago Math & Science Elementary Charter English language scores, about 22 percent met expectations and 2 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 34 percent approached expectations, while 25 percent partially met expectations and 17 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 Chicago Math & Science Elementary Charter, which enrolled 596 students in 2018, fell below state averages.

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