Math, reading proficiency rates are low and steady

Nearly half of students in Southwest Minneapolis’ publicly funded schools are not mastering grade-level standards in reading and math, according to the latest round of statewide standardized test results.

About 55.9% of Southwest Minneapolis students were proficient in reading in 2019 and 54.4% were proficient in math, according to results released Aug. 30. That’s about the same percentage as in 2018 and slightly below the 2019 statewide proficiency rates of 55.5% for math and 55.9% percent for reading.
