Triton School District secures second spot in student Reading test participation in 2021-22 school year

Test 04

Triton School District ranked second in the Dodge County for test participation, with 501 students taking the Reading portion of the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment and the Minnesota Test of Academic Skills in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Minnesota Department of Education.

The number of Triton School District students taking the tests in the 2021-22 school year fell by 4.8% from the previous year.

Triton School District's students achieved an average Reading proficiency rate of 42% in 2021-22 school year.

Sixth grade students stood out with 19% of them exceeding standards in Reading, which was the highest recorded proficiency at the district.

On the other hand, seventh grade students had the most room for improvement, with 47% not meeting the expected standards.

Triton School District encompasses schools within Dodge County and has a main office in Dodge Center.

Minnesota students take the MCA annually (or the MTAS, for students with cognitive disabilities) to determine their academic readiness. Not every grade is tested each year.

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.

Minnesota Department of Education issues could lead to data irregularities.
