JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Here's how Mississippi's 151 school districts in 2014 were rated under the state's A-to-F grading system. Schools that got a lower grade in 2014 than in 2013 could keep their 2013 grade, because the MCT2 state test wasn't meant to measure what was being taught under the new Common Core State Standards. Clarksdale was not rated because of an investigation into suspected test cheating. After 2013, Mound Bayou and North Bolivar merged into North Bolivar, Benoit, Shaw and West Bolivar merged into West Bolivar and Sunflower County and Indianola merged into Sunflower County. Hinds Agricultural closed in May.
