Mississippi Education Makes a Big Move

Some of you may make light of this, but as a state we have been 49th-51st in education rankings for as long as they have been making them. The new reading focus gave us some good PR a couple years back, as we were the only state in the nation to show improvement in all tested grades.
This rankings lag a couple of years, but they are starting to come in. Mississippi made a move to 39th with the Casey Foundation.

Education is what rotted the rest of the country.

Mississippi made a big commitment to literacy. Kids cannot advance past 5th grade without being able to read well. Studies showed that poor reading skills were one of the biggest factors for why children often became discouraged, disillusioned, disinterested, and disruptive in school by 8th grade. Many teachers can attest that while there’s not a big difference in public vs private primary school kids, a lot of public school kids change drastically by 8th grade.
By addressing that the root cause was an inability to read, causing them to end up being left behind in their other classes, Mississippi managed to significantly reduce dropouts and improve both performance and behavior.

This is not good at all. I'm originally from Alabama and our state motto is "Thank God for Mississippi".

I talk real good because I’m smart and stuff.

Alabama is about to move up in this ranking too. Can no longer pass 3rd grade if you can't read. Will have a monumental impact.

It’s been moving up since the Republicans took over the Senate, House, and Governorship. And it has since been further getting better since obtaining supermajorities.
Years after years after years of Democrat rule in at least one branch left this state in the bottom two perpetually. Now it’s turning around.
And Dems are still fighting the best they can on reforms.

One more reason I am glad to have moved to the great state of Mississippi 3 years ago. Also our public school still prays before all events. A community is only as good as it’s people. Sure there are some shitty parts of MS as well but there are plenty of rural gems if you know where to look.

Another big reason for the increased literacy numbers in MS is that MDE, along with other organizations, are pushing a science-based approach to teaching literacy.

School Vouchers
Let the parents pick which schools their kids will go to and see what happens. The public school system is an absolute joke.

Taking education in the Delta from 0% to 50% raised the whole goddamn state average significantly.
Imagine what Louisiana numbers would look like if EBRPSS, minus BRMHS, Lee, and Scotlandville, either disappeared or had a massive increase.
