State test scores released: Here’s where districts in our viewing area stand

MISSISSIPPI (WCBI) – State test scores were released and there are some big changes for some districts.

There are 17 A-rated school districts in the WCBI viewing area.

The Mississippi Department of Education reported that 91% of districts earned a grade of C or higher, which is an improvement.

In 2022-23, the overall percentage of students scoring proficient and advanced reached an all-time high in Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, and U.S. History.

Also in the WCBI viewing area, there are 10 “B” rated school districts and four rated C districts.

Most notably, Columbus and Noxubee County schools both improved to a C.

Noxubee County had a D last year. Before that, the district had been rated an F every year since 2016.

We will talk with administrators tonight about these gains in state test scores.
