Statewide test results: 86 percent of Harvard Junior failed English language arts

Scores14

About 14 percent of Harvard Junior High School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2018 and 86 percent of students failed, according to a McHenry 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 Harvard Junior High School English language scores, about 14 percent met expectations and 0.9 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 26 percent approached expectations, while 32 percent partially met expectations and 28 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 Harvard Junior High School, which enrolled 594 students in 2018, fell below state averages.

Statewide, 37 percent of students passed the test and 63 percent failed.

Of students statewide who passed, only six percent 'exceeded' expectations.
