Statewide test results: 81 percent of Bluffs failed English language arts

Scores18

About 19 percent of Bluffs Elementary School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2018 and 81 percent of students failed, according to a West Central 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 Bluffs Elementary School English language scores, about 19 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 39 percent approached expectations, while 29 percent partially met expectations and 14 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 Bluffs Elementary School, which enrolled 131 students in 2018, fell below state averages.

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

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