Statewide test results: 68 percent of Heritage failed English language arts

Scores15

About 32 percent of Heritage Middle School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 68 percent of students failed, according to a South Cook News 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 Heritage Middle School English language scores, about 29 percent met expectations and 3 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 32 percent approached expectations, while 23 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 Heritage Middle School, which enrolled 469 students in 2017, fell below state averages.

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

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