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 Fulda Public School District students who failed their mathematics assessments fell by 2% from the previous school year.
Data showed that fourth grade students stood out with 25% of them exceeding standards in mathematics, which was the highest recorded proficiency in Fulda Public School District.
