How to read this. Mississippi suppresses results for groups with too few students tested. Schools without a reportable Black student result are excluded rather than shown as zero — 928 of Mississippi's schools have reportable data. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, Mississippi figures should not be compared against another state's.
