About 55 percent of Gridley Grade School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 45 percent of students failed, according to a McLean County Times 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 Gridley Grade School math scores, about 46 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 27 percent approached expectations, while 18 percent partially met expectations and none 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 Gridley Grade School, which enrolled 80 students in 2017, surpassed state averages.
Statewide, 31 percent of students passed the test and 69 percent failed.
Of students statewide who passed, only five percent 'exceeded' expectations.
