Superintendent Dr. Michael Rivard shared, “With the understanding that state standardized assessments are only one of the many measures of academic performance, we are proud our students have a tradition of performing above state averages on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) reflecting the high standards our educators maintain while ensuring that every student receives an education tailored to their needs. Additionally, the strong partnership between our schools and families plays a vital role in this achievement. These MCA results reflect our collective efforts —from teachers to families to the broader community — to ensure that our students are well-equipped to meet and exceed academic challenges.”
