Parents and Students!

Every spring at Forestview Middle School, and around the state, students take the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA's). All FMS students take the MCA's in math and reading.  Students in 5th and 8th grade will also take the Science MCA's. We use the MCA's to find out how well students have learned the Minnesota Academic Standards in mathematics, reading and science.

Click below to access the MCA practice assessments. We encourage you to view the questions and standards that your child will be tested on.
