ROCORI High School Testing Breakdown
Graduation Assessment Requirements
2026-2027 Statewide Assessments
There are three categories of assessments that will be administered in 2026-2027: Standards-Based Accountability, English-Language Proficiency, and Career and College (which also meet the graduation assessment requirements).
- Standards-Based Accountability Assessments: Reading, Mathematics, and Science MCA and MTAS are aligned to Minnesota Academic Standards and are used to meet federal and state accountability requirements. The primary purpose of the assessments is to measure achievement on the Minnesota Academic Standards. District and schools use the results to inform curricular decisions. The MCAs and MTAS are developed and administered by the State.
- English-Language Proficiency Assessments: The ESEA requires that all English learners be assessed in English-language proficiency to measure Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAO). The ACCESS for ELLs and Alternate ACCESS for ELLs are English-language proficiency assessments aligned to the Minnesota Standards for English Language Development. The assessments are developed by the multi-state World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) Consortium and are used to meet the federal requirement and determine state English learner funding for districts.
- Career and College Assessments:
- FAST for grade 9 & 10 & 11 - used for placement into College in the High School classes
- ACT for grade 11 (optional)
ACT Assessments
The ACT® college readiness assessment is a curriculum- and standards-based educational and career planning tool that assesses students' academic readiness for college.
The ACT is the capstone of our College and Career Readiness System. The test uses the same score scale as ASPIRE, making the system an effective tool to monitor academic progress and student growth.
