"After adjusting for demographics, in 2024, Mississippi was the nation’s #1 state in Reading as well as in Mathematics. The state was the state whose students’ performance increased the most from 2013 until 2022, despite the Covid-19 pandemic which contributed to depressed scores nationwide.[10]
Even without any adjustments for demographics, Mississippi ranks ninth in fourth-grade literacy. African-Americans in Mississippi outperform African-Americans in 47 of the other 49 states in reading; Mississippi’s Hispanic students actually lead the nation for their demographic in reading (and second place in math)."
Kentucky, the least educated, most unhealthy because of underfunding and they keep voting for mconell. The stupidity cycle.
Hey now, give them some credit! Alabama is worse!
As long as Mississippi still exists they both have some work to do.
Just a reminder that Mississippi didn’t ratify the 13th amendment (to end slavery) until 2013
Thank God for Mississippi.
Kind of like “Florida Man” (or the corollary, “Ohio Man”).

Does Jackson have clean water again yet?
That’s good they have been making efforts on that front.
Seems they are worst in per capita homicide, 5th worst in obesity, 2nd worst in poverty, and worst in life expectancy.
Someone should tell them there’s eight more grades after 4th
