Science Assessment:
The graph displays the percentage of students who fall into four levels: emerging, developing, proficient, and exemplary on the Illinois Science Assessment. Note: If a student group has fewer than 10 students, no information is displayed. Learn More
This is a zero-based graph. The percentage of students in the emerging category is shown to the left of the zero line. The percentage of students in the exemplary category is shown to the right of the zero line.
The Illinois Science tests are designed to measure performance against rigorous science standards. The tests require students to apply their science skills to answering questions. These skills are necessary in order for students to be successful in the real world. The science tests are given to students enrolled in grades 5, 8, and 11. The tests last about an hour, and students take them online.
Based on test scores, students are identified in one of the four levels of proficiency: emerging, developing, proficient, or exemplary. The chart below provides a description of each proficiency level.
The Illinois Science Assessment results will also be used to measure student growth for school and district accountability.
