That's according to an analysis from South Cook News of test scores compiled by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
ISBE reports that in the 2023-24 school year, 75.1% of Cook County's 52,997 public high school students—approximately 39,800 students—failed the math portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and have “minimal (or) incomplete understanding of the knowledge and skills relative to Illinois Learning Standards.”
Students can achieve four proficiencies in their subjects: partially met, approaching, meets, and exceeds standards. This report concludes students who partially met or approached the standards have failed in the subject.
YCCS - Community Youth Development Institute High School (100%), YCCS - Innovations of Arts Integration High School (100%), and Fenger Academy High School (100%) had the highest failure rate in Cook County, and Payton College Preparatory High School (14.8%) and Northside College Preparatory High School (8.9%) had the lowest.
Out of the 204 high schools in Cook County, only 17 schools had a passing rate above 50%.
Countywide, math test failure rates rose from 74.7% in the 2022-23 school year to 75.1% in the 2023-24 school year.
Failure rates increased at 85 Cook County high schools in the 2023-24 school year, with the most significant increase happening at Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy High School, where the rate jumped from 38.6% to 49.5%.
Statewide, failure rates were highest in Bureau County, Christian County, Gallatin County, Schuyler County, and Hamilton County, where the percentage of students who failed the math exam were 82.4%, 91.6%, 93.4%, 93.6%, and 95.2%, respectively.
Horizon Science Academy McKinley and Noble Street Charter Schools - Pritzker College Prep were the only Cook County high schools that saw math scores improve between the 2022-23 school year and the 2023-24 school year.
Data shows that 73.7% of Illinois students failed the 2023-24 school year state math exam, up from 73% in the 2022-23 school year.
The SAT test is administered to Illinois high school sophomores “to fulfill the requirement that students take an assessment for college and career readiness in order to receive a regular high school diploma.”
