Assessments
Our Testing Program
Mounds View Public Schools uses a number of tests and assessments to measure student performance and progress including District measurement systems, national rankings and state-mandated testing.
Teachers and deans at schools throughout the District use assessments to monitor student progress to get a long-term perspective of gains and proficiency. Assessment results are tracked for every student and viewed by teachers who use the results to tailor their instructional approaches and to help create challenging, but attainable goals for the students. Families can view students' standardized assessment results through ParentVUE.
Student Test History available in ParentVUE
By logging into the ParentVUE portal, families can view historical test results for standardized assessments administered at Mounds View Public Schools. These assessments include: Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA), NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP-GROWTH), ACT and Advanced Placement exams. They can be found by clicking on the Test History bar on the left side of the page. If families need access to ParentVue or need help accessing their account, please consult the ParentVue Help Page.

PSAT/NMSQT
The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is co-sponsored by the College Board and National Scholarship Corporation. The PSAT/NMSQT is a digital standardized test that most high schools in the United States administer to 11th grade students. Considered to be a “preliminary SAT,” the PSAT test gives students a sense of the format, question types, content, and time limits that they will encounter on the SAT, should they take it. Additionally, the PSAT test serves as a qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships. This means that some of the highest scoring students may win scholarship money. Ultimately, the PSAT test is good practice for the SAT and ACT, college admission tests that students often have to take to be admitted to 4-year colleges.
2025 EXAM INFORMATION
Test Date: October 20th OR October 21st, 2025. Students choose which date works best.
Time: Students should arrive at 8:30am, exam will begin at 9:00am.

Who: 11th grade students who want to participate in the National Merit Scholarship Program self-select or may be encouraged to take this exam. It is also recommended that any junior who expects to go to college take the exam as preparation for future nationally-normed standardized tests (SAT or ACT, for example), which are administered later in the junior year.
Registration: Students and families can begin to register Monday, August 25th, 2025. The final registration deadline is Friday, September 26th, 2025 at 3:00pm. Registrations will be processed online using the SmartSchoolK12 payment system.

MN Student Survey
The Minnesota Student Survey has been conducted in schools across our state every three years since 1989. This useful information about students’ thoughts and behaviors helps communities and schools develop effective programs and provide better services for students.
Our school district will invite students in the 5th, 8th, 9th and 11th grades to participate in February 2025.
Questions on the survey are about many topics relating to young people’s lives. The survey asks about
- how well school is going
- future plans
- out-of-school activities
- physical and mental health
- relationships
- substance use
- sexual behavior (high school students only)
The survey is administered online. Students may read the questions or have the questions read to them through the technology they use to access the survey.
The survey will take approximately 25-30 minutes to complete. Several questions will only be shown if a previous question is answered in a certain way. This means most students will not be asked all questions.
Families are welcome to review a copy of the 2025 Survey. Surveys are available for review in each school office (during office hours) or at the Mounds View District Center, 4570 Victoria Street North, Shoreview (between 8 am and 4 pm daily). Families may also request a copy of the 2025 Minnesota Student Survey by sending an email to assessment@moundsviewschools.
- 2025 Minnesota Student Survey Level 1 (Grade 5)
- 2025 Minnesota Student Survey Level 2 (Grade 8)
- 2025 Minnesota Student Survey Level 3 (Grades 9 & 11 and ALL ALC Students)
The Minnesota Department of Education will not allow the surveys to be sent electronically.
The survey is anonymous and confidential. To prevent individuals or families from being identified, students do not provide their names, student identification numbers or personal information. The results are reported on our students as a whole.
During the survey administration, students may decline to answer any part of the survey or the whole survey. They will be reminded of this before they begin the survey.
Should a family choose not to have their student take the survey, please complete the bottom of the Passive Consent Notice to Parents (linked below) and return it directly to the student’s school.

Achievement & Integration Plan Summary
Research Request Information
District approval to conduct research at Mounds View Public Schools is managed and granted through the office of Assessment and Evaluation.
We support giving reasonable access to individuals, institutions and organizations to conduct approved research projects in Mounds View Public Schools, while protecting and contributing to the district’s primary responsibility of providing a premier education for all. We prioritize the privacy of all student data and the interests of students, staff and families when evaluating any proposal.
Who may conduct research?
We encourage Mounds View employees seeking higher degrees to improve their practice to conduct research in the District toward the completion of thesis, dissertations and capstones. Students, professors and researchers from institutions of higher education seeking to conduct research on the effects of solid pedagogical methods may also apply for research approval. Outside organizations and institutions performing research on educational methods and policy can also apply, though it must be noted that Mounds View Schools does not engage in market research for commercial interests.
What is the role of the Office of Assessment and Evaluation in this process?
All research involving Mounds View students, staff or schools must be approved by the office of Assessment and Evaluation. We work to ensure that research projects provide benefit to Mounds View Public Schools, that research methods employed are sound and feasible, and that data collected by the researcher or provided by the district are handled appropriately to protect student privacy per Mounds View Public Schools policy and government regulations. The approval of relevant school principals and/or district administrators is also required before any research can begin.
How are applications evaluated?
Once we have documentation related to the research request, proposals are brought to the Mounds View Instructional Cabinet monthly meeting. The Instructional Cabinet consults with Assessment and Evaluation staff, District content experts and other administrators, as needed, to evaluate all research proposals and verify the viability of participation in the research study.
How do I apply?
Submit the following documentation to Mary Stobb, Assistant Director of Assessment and Evaluation:
- A copy of the Institutional Review Board Paperwork
- Description of how participants (ie. schools, student, &/or staff) will be selected and what their participation involves
- A copy of the consent form to be used (ie. staff, student, and/or family)
- Access to supporting documents: Survey Questions, Interview Questions, Observation Protocols, etc
- General timeline for the activities related to the study
- End of project activities (i.e. How will you share your research results with the Mounds View Public Schools)
