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.
Data showed that 10th grade students stood out with 22.7% of them exceeding standards in reading, which was the highest recorded proficiency in Win-E-Mac School District.
On the other hand, third grade students had the most room for improvement, with 28% not meeting the expected standards.
Win-E-Mac School District roughly covers schools within Polk County and has a main office in Erskine.
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.
