As impressive as those results are, the results under the hood are even more staggering: 📚 Highest gains in the nation in 4th grade reading & math from 2013-2024 📚 Hispanic students rank 1st in the nation among their peers in 4th grade reading and 2nd in 4th grade math 📚

Most impressively of all, Urban Institute released a report showing that the demographically adjusted results would place Mississippi students in FIRST PLACE nationally in 4th grade reading, 4th grade math, & 8th grade reading, as well as 4th nationally in 8th grade math.

In other words, if every state looked the same socioeconomically and demographically, Mississippi would rank at the very top in 3 of the 4 tested areas and 4th in the other.

While there is always more work to do, today is a day to celebrate our students’ impressive academic achievement & also to thank our incredible teachers who have gone above & beyond to deliver these results despite numerous headwinds. Your tireless commitment to our young people
