Scores2

About 11 percent of Thomas Elementary School students passed annual English language arts assessments in 2018 and 89 percent of students failed, according to a Carbondale Reporter 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 Thomas Elementary School English language scores, about 11 percent met expectations and none 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 22 percent partially met expectations and 49 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 Thomas Elementary School, which enrolled 328 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.
