Scores improved slightly in 2009, with 64 percent of students showing proficiency in math and 72 percent testing proficient in reading. The scores reflect results among roughly 400,000 students in Minnesota's public and charter schools. In August, state education officials will disclose how schools are doing under the federal No Child Left Behind law. Last year, nearly half of the state's public and charter schools were on the list of underperforming schools.
