Mississippi Miracle

The Mississippi Miracle refers to the rapid growth in K–12 student academic success in the state of Mississippi and certain other states (including Louisiana, Arkansas, and Florida) from 2013 to 2025. This growth followed decades of low academic performance and occurred despite the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Miracle has been accredited to various causes working together, principally driven in Mississippi by the Literacy-Based Promotion Act (LBPA) and in other states by similar forces and trends.
