Rochester Area Math Science Partnership Our Mission: To support high student achievement through world class standards in math and science Continuous Improvement Report for the Hayfield Community School District

Math/Science Goals All 3 rd through 8 th grade and 11 th grade students will score in the meets or exceeds standards levels on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA-II) in math. All 5 th, 8 th and 10th grade students will score in the meets or exceeds standards levels on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA-II) in science. Reason for goals: Complies with NCLB requirements.
