These students did not meet the required standards of the science portion of the MCA, compared to the 28.1% who did.
The number of Watonwan County students who failed their science assessments fell by 2% 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.
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.
A student's success or failure on the MCA does not impact their grades or their ability to graduate.
