About 45 percent of Sangamon Valley Primary School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2018 and 55 percent 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 Sangamon Valley Primary School English language scores, about 44 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 19 percent partially met expectations and 2 percent did not meet them. Students who scored in these categories are not ready for the next level of schooling, according to the test.
