92 percent of Mississippi third graders in public schools passed the so-called "3rd Grade Reading Gate" assessment according to the latest results released by the Mississippi Department of Education. Over 35,000 students statewide scored high enough to pass the test, and the average state test score was higher than the minimum score needed to pass.
Only five districts had over 20 percent of their students fail the test, and statewide, 2,907 students did not pass. Jackson Public Schools, the district with the most schools and third graders assessed, had an 86 percent passing rate.
