Statewide test results: 100 percent of Hope students failed math

Grade school 07

None of Hope Academy students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and all of students failed, according to a Macon 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 Hope Academy math scores, no student 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 10 percent approached expectations, while 28 percent partially met expectations and 62 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 Hope Academy, which enrolled 525 students in 2017, 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.
