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 Herman-Norcross School District students who failed their mathematics assessments rose by 5.7% from the previous school year.
Herman-Norcross School District roughly covers schools within Grant County and has a main office in Herman.
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.
| School Name | Failure Rate (%) |
|---|---|
| Herman Secondary | 32% |
| Herman Elementary School | 31.6% |
