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.

About the tests
Minnesota students in third through eighth grade take the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) in reading and math. In addition 10th-graders take a reading test and 11th-graders take a math test. Students need not make a certain score to go on to the next grade.

Private schools can choose whether to test their students. They are not required to report scores and demographic data.

Low-income: Percent of test-takers eligible for free or reduced lunch program.

Mobile: Test-takers new to the school since Oct. 1 of the school year.
