52.1% of Lac qui Parle County students failed the reading portion of the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) test in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Minnesota Department of Education.

These students did not meet the required standards of the reading portion of the MCA, compared to the 47.9% who did.

The number of Lac qui Parle County students who failed their reading assessments rose by 18.3% 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.

A student's success or failure on the MCA does not impact their grades or their ability to graduate.
