Minnesota's science test scores dropped to 26% in 2025 after new standards prioritized critical thinking over memorization.
Minnesota students' science proficiency dropped to 26% in 2025, down from nearly 40% in 2024, following new state standards that prioritize scientific inquiry and application over memorization.
The shift, aimed at building critical thinking and real-world problem-solving skills, has led to lower test scores across grade levels, with fifth-graders at 26.1%, eighth-graders at 16%, and high school students at 36.1%.
State officials attribute the decline to transitional challenges in implementing the new curriculum, which is expected to improve long-term outcomes despite short-term setbacks.
