Mississippi's education reforms led to top national rankings in 4th and 8th grade reading and math by 2024.
Mississippi has surged to the top of national rankings in fourth and eighth grade reading and math, according to 2024 data, marking a dramatic turnaround from its 2013 ranking of 49th.
The state’s progress, dubbed the “Mississippi Miracle,” stems from the 2013 Literacy-Based Promotion Act, which mandates third graders pass a reading test to advance, with targeted support for those who don’t.
Strong leadership, early intervention, teacher training, and accountability have driven gains, with state officials citing improved curriculum, instructional coaches, and sustained investment.
