During the 2022-23 school year, 223 students from 4th grade took the math portion of the MCA in Houston County, according to the Minnesota Department of Education.

They scored an average of 453, with 62.1% of them considered proficient in the subject.

The number of Houston County students taking the math portion of the MCA in the 2022-23 school year fell 3.7% 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.
