The MCA and the Minnesota Test of Academic Skills (MTAS) are the state tests that help districts measure student progress toward Minnesota’s academic standards and also meet federal and state legislative requirements. The tests cover math, reading and science, depending on the grade that is being tested. Most students take the MCA, but students who receive special education services and meet eligibility requirements may take the MTAS instead.
The number of Minneapolis Public School District students who failed their reading assessments rose by 2.2% from the previous school year.
Data showed that sixth grade students stood out with 18.8% of them exceeding standards in reading, which was the highest recorded proficiency in Minneapolis Public School District.
On the other hand, eighth grade students had the most room for improvement, with 47.3% not meeting the expected standards.
Minneapolis Public School District roughly covers schools within Hennepin County and has a main office in Minneapolis.
Analysis from The Nation's Report Card showed math and reading scores have fallen significantly in the last decade. Science scores have been steady in recent years.
