Latest PARCC Test Scores Show Slight Reading Gains, Math Declines
(Springfield, IL) — More than 60 percent of school kids in Illinois still can’t read or add at grade level. But the latest standardized test scores in the state show some slight gains. The Illinois State Board of Education yesterday released the latest PARCC scores. The results show students in third through eighth grade did slightly better, as in a few tenths-of-a-percent better, on the reading test. Students in the same grades did slightly worse on the math test. Illinois State Superintendent Tony Smith yesterday said the scores show the state has built a ‘solid foundation.’
