111 fourth grade students from Farnsworth Aerospace Lower took the math portion of the MCA during 2017-18

111 fourth grade students from Farnsworth Aerospace Lower took the mathematics portion of the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA) during the 2017-18 school year according to the Minnesota Department of Education.

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.
