Scores14

About 5 percent of Bushnell-Prairie City Junior High School students passed annual math assessments in 2018 and 95 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 Bushnell-Prairie City Junior High School math scores, about 5 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 29 percent approached expectations, while 30 percent partially met expectations and 30 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 Bushnell-Prairie City Junior High School, which enrolled 159 students in 2018, 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.
