57.6 percent of Scott County students passed the Reading portion of the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) test in the 2021-2022 school year, according to the Minnesota Department of Education.
Of the 13,835 students who took part in the MCA, 41.3 percent met the testing standard while 16.3 percent exceeded expectations and scored highest on the test.
The total percentage of Scott County students who met or exceeded expectations grew by 0.9 percent from the previous school year.
The MCA is given annually to Minnesota students to determine the academic readiness of students. Not every grade is tested each year.
