What this means: About 36% of students here test proficient in math and reading, compared with the roughly 45% typical for Minnesota schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations measures results against demographically similar schools rather than by raw scores, and this school falls within the typical range, neither among Minnesota's top nor bottom 10%.
BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →

From the WOODBURY ELEMENTARY community.How to read these scores
What is MCA?
Minnesota public-school students take the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) each spring in Reading and Math (grades 3-8 + grade 10) and Science (grades 5, 8, and high school). MCA uses 4 performance levels: Does Not Meet, Partially Meets, Meets, and Exceeds Standards.
What does "% Meets or Exceeds Standards" mean?
It is the percentage of students at the school whose scores were "Meets the Standards" or "Exceeds the Standards" on the MCA — the top 2 of 4 performance levels (Does Not Meet, Partially Meets, Meets, Exceeds). Meets and above is Minnesota's grade-level benchmark. A higher number is better.
What does 41.0% mean for Reading at WOODBURY ELEMENTARY?
It means about 41.0 percent of students tested at WOODBURY ELEMENTARY performed at grade level or above on the MCA Reading test in 2024-25. The statewide average for Minnesota that year was 49.7%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Minnesota, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) + MTAS + Alternate MCA combined ("All Standards-Based"). School-level Percent Proficient from the MDE Assessment Files. Headline metric is the cumulative "Meets + Exceeds Standards" rate (top 2 of 4 MCA performance levels).
How often is it updated?
MCA is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
