About 44 percent of Maroa-Forsyth Grade School students passed annual math assessments in 2018 and 56 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 Maroa-Forsyth Grade School math scores, about 35 percent met expectations and 9 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 35 percent approached expectations, while 17 percent partially met expectations and 4 percent did not meet them. Students who scored in these categories are not ready for the next level of schooling, according to the test.
