Thousands of Minnesota kids are already back in school and the rest will be going back on Tuesday.
This is a critical time for Minnesota’s K-12 education system. Test scores are still down from before the pandemic, and the legislature approved record funding for K-12 education.
The big picture is that K-12 test scores are still down about 10% since before the COVID-19 pandemic. Right now, only 45% of Minnesota students show proficiency in math, and only 50% show proficiency in reading.
