In the 2023-24 school year, 23.7% of the students in Robinson Community Unit School District 2 passed the Math portion of the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR), according to the Illinois State Board of Education.

Of the 658 students in Robinson Community Unit School District 2 who took the Math portion of the test, approximately 156 (23.7%) passed.

The percentage of Robinson Community Unit School District 2 students who met or exceeded expectations on the IAR increased by 0.7% compared to the previous school year.

Robinson Community Unit School District 2 roughly covers four schools within Crawford County and has a main office in Robinson.

The Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) measures how well students in grades 3-8 are progressing toward state standards in English language arts and mathematics.

Recent IAR data shows that while Illinois students improved slightly in the test, math performance remains below pre-pandemic levels. In 2024, 28.4% of students met math benchmarks, compared to 31.8% in 2019. However, data also indicates a significant achievement gap based on race and ethnicity. 

The disparities were even more pronounced in math. White students achieved a proficiency rate of 38.7%, while Black students achieved 9.1% and Hispanic students 15.6%. Asian students achieved the highest proficiency rates in both subjects, hitting 68.2% in ELA and 61.4% in math.
