The Mississippi Education Turnaround Continues

Its not being covered by the major news outlets in MS, because it doesn't fit their agenda of Republicans hate education and we need to throw money at schools like it grows on trees but ...
A couple of months after leading the nation in gains on national testing (and scoring anywhere between 4th and 27th nationally), Mississippi's graduation rate is at an all-time high and drop out rate is at an all-time low.
Mississippi's graduation rate now exceeds the national average for the first time in history.
Barely being covered by liberal media, just look at the raw report

Louisiana will continue to ignore anything MS is doing, because we know better.

So parents are getting more involved or are politicians educating the kids. Which is it.
I didn't realize so many kids were graduating in december

What is contributing to this “Mississippi rebound”?

Do the numbers represent real gains?
The easiest way to improve your scores is by lowering standards, and accommodating under performers.

This is big because it’s covering actual gains in the classroom, not a measurement of dollars spent.
My mother is a teacher in the worst neighborhood of the worst school district of nc.
She says it’s not money, but an ability to teach disciplined students. The troublemakers must be disciplined or removed to create a conducive learning environment.
The ones that seek attention, ruin it for everyone else (ahem, Odell).

Interesting, but the real question is what changed?
What new policies, people and/or funding is in place?

graduation rate
Not passing judgement on the overall OP but grad rate is easily the most irrelevant stat in our public school system.

You could solve almost every problem with education by incentivizing parents to care about their kids progress. When they have skin in the game the kids will learn. I bet if there was a way to measure and track parents involvement with making their kids do their homework and helping them every night, those kids would all track the same in success rate no matter if they went to the worst public school in the state or the best private school.
