About 72 percent of Twin Groves Middle School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 28 percent of students failed, according to a North 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 Twin Groves Middle School math scores, about 49 percent met expectations and 23 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 19 percent approached expectations, while 6 percent partially met expectations and 3 percent did not meet them. Students who scored in these categories are not ready for the next level of schooling, according to the test.
