[Winona Online Democracy]
For those who wish to see the latest test scores on the official state Department of Ed. site, go to:
http://education.state.mn.us/html/mde_home.htm
Under Most Popular Information, click on Test Results
This takes you to: Home - Schools and Districts
In the blue rectangle on the left, click on: Advanced Search
Home- Schools and Districts - MN School & District Information/Analysis
From there, you can find the school or the school district you want, byselecting the appropriate first letter of the school/district name (for example: under school district, choose W for Winona, or under school, choose W for Winona Middle School), and scrolling down the list of schools. Click on the name you are searching for, and you should go to that school/district's test scores. You can click on "Trend" to view the trend of scores over the past few years, etc. If you are willing to spend a little time looking at the options, you can really see a lot of information.
