MCA Testing Information at OLG School
Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs)
The Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) are given for reading and math in Grades 3, 5, and 7 each spring. These tests are mandatory for public schools in Minnesota, but not required for non-public schools. Our Lady of Grace chooses to partipate in MCA testing in order to ensure that our curriculum aligns effectively with statewide standards, and to provide another measure of our student performance.
Edina's excellent public schools offer a valuable benchmark for OLG. For a 5-year trend of MCA data comparing OLG to Edina public schools, CLICK HERE.
