The kids in Columbus, Mississippi are clearly smart. However, the 89% rest of the state is struggling to prepare for college, but they nonetheless aspire to go to Mississippi State University; these are the key takeaways from the ACT scores of Mississippi’s graduating class of 2017.
(Scroll down for table of ACT results for all 241 Mississippi high schools)
As with 19 other states, Mississippi requires and pays for all of the state’s public school students to take the ACT in the spring of their junior year. ACT test scores account for 5% of a school’s annual accountability rating.
In 2016, 35,678 students took the ACT; their mean composite score was an 18.4 out of 36 meaning that the average Mississippi junior scored worse than 64% of other test takers. Nationwide, the average composite score was a 20.8. Of the 20 states with complete or near mandatory ACT testing, Minnesota scored the highest with a score of 21.1. Only Nevada scored worse than Mississippi with a composite score of 17.7.
ACT College Readiness Benchmarks
Almost half of all Mississippians are prepared to do well in college English, but only 11% would survive interdisciplinary coursework in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
“College Readiness Benchmarks” are the subtest scores (out of 36) that the ACT thinks are necessary for a student to have a 50% chance of earning a B or higher or a 75% chance of getting a C or higher on a freshman level college course. Effective of 2013, these benchmark scores and their college course equivalents are:
- English (English Composition) – 18
- Reading (Social Sciences) – 22
- Mathematics (College Algebra) – 22
- Science (Biology) – 23
Mississippi’s seniors did best in English, where the ACT says that 46% are ready for college-level coursework. However, they did far worse in Reading (27%), Math (20%), and Science (19%); they barely registered for STEM (11%).
Compared to the rest of the United States, Mississippi’s seniors are more than twice as unlikely to succeed in college when looking at all four tested areas.
It should come as no surprise that students passing all four benchmarks nationwide (English, Reading, Mathematics, and Science) were most likely to attend 4-year private and public colleges.
48% of students passing all four benchmarks ultimately attended private 4-year colleges while 41% attended 4-year public colleges.
Disappointingly, 51% of students who didn’t pass any benchmarks fell off of the college radar altogether.
Racial and Economic Disparities
Significant disparities exist among ACT scores between students of different races. Nationwide, white students are between 2 and 8 times as likely to be college ready than their black counterparts.
In Mississippi this disparity is more severe. While the gap between whites and blacks is similar to the nation in English, it’s most extreme when examining readiness in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics); here white students are 12 times more likely to be prepared for college than their black counterparts.
However, income disparity is perhaps a better explanation for the performance gap. In Piqosity’s analysis of Mississippi schools, there was a nearly 72% correlation between ACT composite scores and the percentage of a school’s students who benefitted from free and reduced lunch programs.
At a 64% correlation, race too was a good predictor of test results, but not as strong as the economic indicator. This analysis supports general nationwide findings that point to the children of rich families scoring significantly higher on the ACT than their less well-off counterparts.
According to the ACT’s own internal research, 67% of children from families earning more than $100,000 and taking the ACT’s recommended “core curriculum” are college and career ready. Conversely, only 11% of children from families earning less than $36,000 a year and not taking the recommended curriculum were ready. Mississippi’s median household income in 2014 was $39,464.
The top 10 Mississippi schools by ACT scores had an average free and reduced lunch population of just 31%, twice as better off than the state average of 72%. Behind only MSMS, number 2 Madison Central’s low income population is just 17%. Conversely, the bottom 50 Mississippi schools have low income populations of 93%.
Obtainable College Preferences
While the majority of Mississippi’s graduating seniors may not breeze through college, the good news is that the state wants them to try, and Mississippians love their state colleges.
Out of 35,678 students who took the ACT last year, nearly three quarters listed Mississippi State, Ole Miss, or Southern among their top choices. The top five colleges among test takers were:
- Mississippi State (12,731)
- University of Mississippi (8,932)
- University of Southern Mississippi (6,680)
- Jackson State University (3,342)
- Jones County Junior College (2,727)
These colleges are accessible too. At Mississippi State, an applicant will be granted admission if they maintain a high school GPA of 2.5 and score at least a 16 composite on the ACT; the majority of students at 187 of Mississippi’s 241 schools earned a 16 or higher last year.
ACT Scores for All Mississippi Public High Schools
Out of 241 public high schools, the majority of students were college ready in English at 93 schools; however, only 3 were as prepared for math, and just Mississippi School for Math and Science graduated a majority of seniors who were college ready in science.
