Scores8

About 74 percent of The Joseph Sears School students passed annual math assessments in 2018 and 26 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 The Joseph Sears School math scores, about 55 percent met expectations and 19 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 18 percent approached expectations, while 6 percent partially met expectations and 0.9 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 The Joseph Sears School, which enrolled 451 students in 2018, 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.
