During the 2022-23 school year, 1,596 students from 3rd grade took the math portion of the MCA in Stearns County, according to the Minnesota Department of Education.

The number of Stearns County students taking the math portion of the MCA in the 2022-23 school year rose 1.5% 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, and the scoring scale varies by grade level. These differing score brackets reflect the varying complexity and expectations at different educational stages.

Analysis from the 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.
