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 Intermediate School District 287 students who failed their mathematics assessments fell by 8.6% from the previous school year.
Fourth grade students had the most room for improvement, with 81.8% not meeting the expected standards.
Intermediate School District 287 roughly covers schools within Hennepin County and has a main office in Plymouth.
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.
