Students in the state of Minnesota scored higher in reading this year but lower in math which is very concerning. Elementary students and middle school students went down in math because of a new type of test called Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment III. I think that because it was a new test it is harder to tell how much the students really did decline in math. Also in Minnesota there are still gaps between different races with the minorities scoring lower. I feel that as a state we need to change that and get everyone passing the tests. The article said that there was a drop in Apple Valley, Eagan, and Rosemount’s math scores. I think this story is interesting because the news is local.
