Minnesota students are not meeting testing standards in three core learning categories, according to newly released state assessment data.
The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) on Thursday released new data that revealed that more than half of students in the state are not meeting standards in math, reading and science. The tests are administered by the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) and the alternate assessment, the Minnesota Test of Academic Skills (MTAS), which are statewide assessments that help districts measure student progress.
The findings found that 60.4% of students in Minnesota are underperforming in the subject of science, with only 39.5% meeting the state standards.
