MCA-II Excel FilesData :

Students in grades 3-8 take the MCA-II Assessments in reading and mathematics. Students in grade 10 take the MCA-II in reading and students in grade 11 take the MCA –II in mathematics. Beginning in 2008, students also take MCA –II Assessments in Science at grades 3, 5 and high school.

The MCA-II series is aligned to the new academic standards adopted in 2003. They cannot be compared to results from the earlier MCA series because they are aligned to different standards.

For each assessment file the “all student group” in each file is filtered at 9 to protect student privacy. The 'filtered' column indicates if the results have been suppressed. In these cases, the average score and counts within each proficiency level will be empty.

MCA and MCA-II data are available in Excel and tab delimited formats. Tab delimited files provide detailed school and district information including demographics of test takers. Excel files show only summary information for a school.
