First Lady Elee Reeves said in a Facebook reel that “amazing things are happening” in Mississippi classrooms, citing the phrase “Mississippi Miracle” and saying the state has reached an all-time high graduation rate that is higher than the national average.
Reeves, who holds the ceremonial title of first lady of Mississippi, used the social media post to highlight recent positive developments in education across the state. The phrase “Mississippi Miracle” has been used publicly to describe what supporters call notable gains in student outcomes and school performance.
Education experts and policymakers say higher graduation rates can have broad implications, including a stronger workforce, improved college and career readiness, and long-term economic benefits for communities. State leaders often point to graduation statistics and classroom initiatives when arguing for continued investment in schools.
The Facebook reel did not include detailed data or a source for the graduation-rate claim. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
