Statewide test results: 46 percent of Heineman failed English language arts

Scores20

About 54 percent of Heineman Middle School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2018 and 46 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 Heineman Middle School English language 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 28 percent approached expectations, while 13 percent partially met expectations and 5 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 Heineman Middle School, which enrolled 884 students in 2018, surpassed state averages.

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

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