Shutterstock 132071273

About 46 percent of Lowell Elementary School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 54 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 Lowell Elementary School math scores, about 37 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 16 percent partially met expectations and 11 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 Lowell Elementary School, which enrolled 365 students in 2017, 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.
