Scores23

Nearly 9 in 10 Franklin County public high school students aren't at grade level in Math.

That's according to a North Egypt News analysis of 2022 test score data compiled by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).

ISBE reports that last year, 86.3 percent of Franklin County's 357 public high school students failed the Math portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and have “minimal (or) incomplete… understanding of the knowledge and skills relative to Illinois Learning Standards.”

Students can achieve four proficiencies in their subjects (partially met, approaching, meets, and exceeds standards). This report concludes students who partially met or approached the standards have failed in the subject.

Thompsonville High School (95.7 percent), Zeigler-Royalton High School (94.3 percent), and Benton Consolidated High School (87.2 percent) had the highest failure rates in Franklin County. Frankfort Community High School (83.2 percent) and Sesser-Valier High School (80.8 percent) had the lowest.

No Franklin County high schools had a passing rate of more than 50 percent of students.

County-wide, Math test failure rates rose from 77.2 percent in 2019 to 86.3 percent in 2022.

The failure rate increased at six Franklin County high schools in 2022, with the most significant increase happening at Frankfort Community High School (83.2 percent).

Failure rates rose the most in Coles County (82.7 percent), Mercer County (83.5 percent), Pope County (89.8 percent), Union County (91.3 percent), and Henderson County (92.2 percent).

No Franklin County high schools saw Math scores improve between 2019 and 2022.

Statewide, 70 percent of Illinois students failed the 2022 state Math exam, up from 64 percent in 2019.

The SAT test is administered to Illinois high school sophomores “to fulfill the requirement that students take an assessment for college and career readiness in order to receive a regular high school diploma.”
