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 Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District students who failed their science assessments rose by 1.2% from the previous school year.
Data showed that HS grade students stood out with 17.8% of them exceeding standards in science, which was the highest recorded proficiency in Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District.
On the other hand, eighth grade students had the most room for improvement, with 27.8% not meeting the expected standards.
Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District roughly covers schools within Dakota County and has a main office in Rosemount.
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.
