Fall FAST results show proficiency gaps across demographic groups in Minneapolis schools
Summary
District Fall FAST (FastBridge) results presented to the Committee of the Whole show year‑to‑year changes and disparities by ethnicity and subgroup; presenters emphasized lower proficiency for several historically underserved groups and the need for targeted interventions.
District staff presented Fall 2024 FastBridge (FAST) proficiency results disaggregated by state ethnicity and demographic subgroup, noting declines and uneven recovery across groups. For example, the earlyReading kindergarten proficiency rate for All MPS fell to 55% in fall 2024 from 61% in 2023, and other grade bands and demographic subgroups showed varied performance. Presenters emphasized that subgroup gaps remain a central concern for district interventions.
The data slides included multiple subgroup breakouts (EL services, lunch eligibility, special education, and students identified as homeless or highly mobile) and reflected multi‑year trends (2022–2024). Staff said these disaggregated figures will guide targeted supports and curriculum alignment work.
