What does 中３の２５％　exactly mean?

I am not sure about the first part of




「中３の２５％、短文も理解困難」　




Do you read 中 as ちゅう here?
25% of 3 would be 0.75% if I am not mistaken. Therefore does it mean something like 「around 0.75% of the population does have trouble with reading and understanding short sentences」? But then... wouldn't one just write 0.75% in the beginning?






meaning readings numbers

          yes, you read 中 as ちゅう , and 中３ as ちゅうさん



          中３ is a shorthand way of writing 中学校3年生 which is (Japanese) Junior High School 3rd graders or in other words, 9th graders.

          so 中３の２５％ would be "25% of (Japanese) 9th graders"



          so the full translation of




          「中３の２５％、短文も理解困難」




          is



          "Twenty-five percent of 9th graders have difficulty understanding short passages."



          Thanks to @Mars and @Eiríkr Útlendi for suggesting the more accurate word choices.



          After all this editing, I realized one final point that can be made: in the expression 短文も理解困難, も carries the meaning "even", so the most apt translation would be:



          "Twenty-five percent of 9th graders have difficulty understanding even short passages."

          • heh. For a second I thought your comment was a reference to my answer, then I realized you were referring to how many 3rd graders have trouble reading. I also just realized that nowhere in that sentence does it explicitly say "Japanese" students... so it could actually be a reference to some other country...

            Localizing the text further, for a US context, 中３ = 9th graders. I don't think I've ever heard (read) the phrase "junior high school third graders" before -- and, in fact, "third graders" is so specifically a reference to elementary school that the juxtaposition is most confusing. Combine that with the wrinkle that some counties only have two years of junior high school (I think usually 7th and 8th grade), things can go even further off the rails. :)

            I'd also note that 短文 doesn't necessarily mean short sentences. This probably refers to tests or academics, so the better term is probably "short passages"
