The majority of Minnesota students are not meeting state proficiency
standards in math and a shrinking number of students are proficient in
reading, according to new test data released by the Minnesota Department
of Education.

The new data offers a more detailed picture of how the COVID-19 pandemic
has disrupted learning and worsened longstanding, systemic inequities in
student outcomes, coming after the onset of the deadly virus led to school
shutdowns and remote learning for long periods of 2020 and part of 2021.

The achievement data, drawn from two standardized tests, shows around 45%
of Minnesota students meeting state standards for math.

While this number mostly held steady with a very slight increase over last
year, it's nearly a 10% drop compared to the last round of testing before
the pandemic.

In reading, just over half of Minnesota students are meeting proficiency
standards, but this number also shrunk significantly since 2019 and
dropped an additional 1.5% since last year.

Data on how well students are learning continues to be a major point of
political contention both nationally and statewide, with Republicans in
Minnesota largely opposing increases to public school funding and
criticizing COVID-19 public health measures that brought prolonged school
closures.

Democrats widely support increases to the per-student state aid funding
formula to help districts close multi-million-dollar funding gaps for
mandated services, such as special education.

On Thursday, MDE named 371 schools and 15 districts that'll receive
support over the next three years after the North Star accountability
system identified which schools, in particular, were not meeting students'
needs based on key achievement criteria.

"These statewide assessment results reinforce what we already know – our
students, families, school communities and educators need us to continue
to meet this moment,” stated MDE Commissioner Heather Mueller.
