About 62 percent of Westview Hills Middle School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 38 percent of students failed, according to a DuPage Policy Journal 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 Westview Hills Middle School math scores, about 44 percent met expectations and 18 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 24 percent approached expectations, while 12 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.
