Mississippi is the most uneducated and unhealthiest state in the US. It’s not surprising. Although, just about everyone I know in MS, is ready for it to reopen.

You left off... “while under Democrat’s majority in the House”

Now, since Democrats have finally been reduced to barking dogs at the end of their chains, this happened with a Republican supermajority:

Mississippi Ranks No. 1 in Nation for Score Gains on National Assessment of Educational Progress

JACKSON, MS) – Mississippi has achieved the No. 1 spot in the nation for gains on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as the Nation’s Report Card, with 4th grade students making the largest score gains from 2017 to 2019 in reading and mathematics, 8th grade students outpacing the nation for growth in mathematics, and 8th grade reading holding steady.

Mississippi is the only state in the nation to show significant increases in three of the four core NAEP subjects in 2019.

Washington, D.C., is the only jurisdiction to show gains in three of four subjects.

Nationally, scores for most NAEP subjects dropped or remained flat from 2017 to 2019. For the first time, Mississippi 4th graders scored higher than the nation’s public school average in mathematics and tied the nation in reading.

This after ONE decade of Republicans completely running the state and WITHOUT significantly increasing funding.

On the bottom with a century of democrat obstruction. Significant gains in one decade of republican leadership.
