Science Assessment:
2 of 5

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.

Level 4
Exemplary
Work at this level is of exceptional quality. It is both thorough and accurate. It exceeds the standard. It shows a sophisticated application of knowledge and skills.
Level 3
Proficient
Work at this level meets the standard. It is acceptable work that demonstrates application of essential knowledge and skills. Minor errors or omissions do not detract from the overall quality.
Level 2
Developing
Work at this level does not meet the standard. It shows basic, but inconsistent application of knoweldge and skills. Minor errors or omissions detract from the overall quality. Your work needs further development.
Level 1
Emerging
Work at this level shows a partial application of knowledge and skills. It is superficial (lacks depth), fragmented or incomplete and needs considerable development. Your work contains errors or omissions.

The Illinois Science Assessment results will also be used to measure student growth for school and district accountability.For more information about the science tests, see ISBE’s Illinois Science Assessment webpage.
