A sample of 25-hundred Minnesota eighth graders tested among the best in the world in technical subjects, ranking sixth-highest in science and 7th-highest in math. State education officials say the scores place Minnesota at the top of the pack, along with Korea, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, Japan and the state of Massachusetts.
