Jordan students fare better on reading tests

By Brandon Otte

While it remains to be seen if the district met its goals for yearly progress, Jordan Public Schools’ student test scores are near or better than last year.

The Minnesota Department of Education released Minneso-ta Comprehensive Assessment (MCA-II) scores for state dis-tricts earlier this week. The as-sessment tests students at sev-eral grade levels on their math and reading skills.

Last year, Jordan Middle School met its goal for ade-quate yearly progress (AYP), after missing the mark during the 2005-2006 school year. This year’s AYP results will be re-leased later this month. The department of education will release students’ individual-ized MCA-II results to their parents.

Students’ results fall into one of four categories: does not meet standards; partially meets standards; meets standards; and exceeds standards.

Here’s a look at how Jor-dan’s students fared on the math portion of the test:

Of the 121 Jordan Elemen-tary School third-graders test-ed, 75.2 percent met or exceeded standards while 4.1 percent did not meet standards. Statewide, 81.4 percent of students met or exceeded standards.

Of the 130 JES fourth-graders tested, 56.8 percent met or exceeded expectations while 15.1 percent did not meet expec-tations. Statewide, 71.6 percent of students met or exceeded standards.

Of the 117 JMS fifth-graders tested, 64.9 percent met or exceeded standards while 12.8 percent did not meet stan-dards. Statewide, 66 percent of students met or exceeded stan-dards.

Of the 96 JMS sixth-grad-ers tested, 52.1 percent met or exceeded expectations while 15.8 percent did not meet stan-dards. Statewide, 64.6 percent of students met or exceeded standards.

Of the 131 JMS seventh-graders tested, 60.3 percent met or exceeded expectations while 16.8 percent did not meet expec-tations. Statewide, 61.4 percent of students met or exceeded standards.

Of the 135 JMS eighth-

graders tested, 60 percent met or exceeded expectations, while 17 percent did not meet stan-dards. Statewide, 58.2 percent of students met or exceeded standards.

Of the 113 Jordan High School juniors tested, 28.4 per-cent met or exceeded standards while 45.1 percent did not meet the state standards. Statewide, 34.3 percent of students met or exceeded standards.
