JJ will dig into the school ratings over the next few days but here is a quick summary of how local schools did. Canton improved to a "B"from a "D" two years ago. The usual suspects got A's while Jackson earned a "C".
Jackson Metro Area
Clinton: A
Canton: B
Hinds County: B
Jackson: C
Madison County: A
Pearl: A
Rankin County: A
Charter Schools
Reimagine Prep: C
Smillow: B
Midtown: D

If you zoom into Jackson, several schools are A rated. It's always a mix.
I always do that.
Clinton School ratings are likely the main driving force for black flight from Jackson. Always are black folks on social media asking if anyone knows if there are clinton apartments for rent or houses for sale. There hardly ever are any available for more than a week or so.
As a Clinton parent and avid supporter of the Clinton Public schools I have observed that homeowners both black and white formerly from Jackson bring a very positive contribution to our district. The Jackson migrants to the apartments is another story. They are already lowering the achievement levels at Clinton schools and present most of the disciplinary challenges the district encounters.
It’s because The state superintendent left, right?
“For somebody to do well in school, somebody needs to make him go to bed on time and get a good 10 hours of sleep. Someone must make him do his homework. Somebody must feed him breakfast in the morning and somebody must make him mind the teacher," said Williams. “If those things are not done, I don’t care how much money you put in the school system, education will not occur.”

Good Lord!...
I am old enough to remember when a student could get a decent education at public schools in Jackson? That has been a long time ago though..
Are teachers these days required to pass a grammar competency test?
The growth is due to the pandemic it’s not real growth. Also if Pearl is an A school district then Misssissippi education is screwed….
I don't know how Terry high school got a B. That school is run by morons.
10 hours of sleep! LOL
But back to good news, Canton schools had a pep rally for getting better academically and the kids looked Happy so ... Winning
Look up the current situation in Greene County Schools that's in the news. I believe that explains a lot of the score improvements for a lot of these districts, These results are self-reported by the districts to the state.
Correction George County not Greene County
Canton is doing much better and I hope they keep this up. Now we need to get rid of the malignancy of students that just won't try or stay/skip from school. They, as well as other schools need to have a Lean on Me moment expelling those wishing to not participate and lead gang style of life. They have abandoned schools so schools should remove the blight.
8:54 - Not before 'we' get rid of the nepotism system, reverse-racism hiring practices, rewarding poor performance and book-cooking when it comes to self-reporting test results.
That's a tall order which means there will NEVER be REAL improvement or accountability attached to Canton Separate.
