My kids attend Sioux Trail in 3rd and 6th grades and Olivia, my 3rd grader thinks it is a 5 star school! She loves it! So does my 6th grader. The teachers at Sioux Trail are so wonderful and the parent support is outstanding. Everyone is very dedicated!

The MCA-II is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Minnesota. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
