Scores18

About 19 percent of Chicago Virtual Charter School students passed annual math assessments in 2018 and 81 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 Virtual Charter School math scores, about 17 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 23 percent approached expectations, while 24 percent partially met expectations and 29 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 Virtual Charter School, which enrolled 689 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.
