Statewide test results: 87 percent of Holmes failed English language arts

Schools

Scores18

About 13 percent of Holmes Elementary School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2017 and 87 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 Holmes Elementary School English language scores, about 13 percent met expectations and 0.4 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 21 percent approached expectations, while 33 percent partially met expectations and 33 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 Holmes Elementary School, which enrolled 347 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.
