About 7 percent of Legacy Academy of Excellence Charter School students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 93 percent of students failed, according to a Rockford Sun 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 Legacy Academy of Excellence Charter School math scores, about 6 percent met expectations and 0.6 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 26 percent approached expectations, while 32 percent partially met expectations and 36 percent did not meet them. Students who scored in these categories are not ready for the next level of schooling, according to the test.
