EPGHS Overall Results

These charts illustrate the Prairie State Assessement Evaluation and the ACT college readiness testing in all subjects. The numbers in the parenthesis represent our goals for that year. Remember that this test is given to all juniors (third year high students) each year.

In 2010, a greater emphasis was placed on testing environment for our high school students. All students tested in their particular areas on the same day. A building wide focus on the testing should create less anxiety for students over time since they will be accustomed to the testing environment.

Supervision, snacks, and overall atmosphere were enhanced.

While it is difficult to compare one grade level to the next: * The 2010 scores improved over the 2009 scores in each area on the ACT by an average of over 6 points per subject. More importantly, EPG is trending upward since 2007 in Reading, Math and Science in college readiness.

* PSAE 2010 scores improved or maintained the same as the 2009 scores in the same area. * The PSAE scores in Reading, Math, and Science were above the six year average those subjects.
