SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) has reported an increase in accountability grades for the 2022-23 school year. The results show that 87 percent of schools and 91 percent of districts earned a grade of C or higher, compared to 81 percent of schools and 87 percent of districts in the previous year. This improvement is attributed to the efforts of teachers, school leaders, and staff in helping students recover from the disruptions of the pandemic. The state‘s accountability system is based on various factors, including student proficiency and growth rates, graduation rates, and performance on assessments. Additionally, school districts under state leadership have shown consistent improvements.
