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 LoveWorks Academy for Arts School District students who failed their science assessments fell by 14% from the previous school year.
Eighth grade students had the most room for improvement, with 70% not meeting the expected standards.
LoveWorks Academy for Arts 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.
