 “The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that in 2007 more than one out of every five Mississippians 25 years or older – 21.5 percent of all adults – had not completed high school.  …This problem multiplies its effects by limiting both the income of adults and the life-chances of their children.”

 
 
“…when Mississippi fails to educate a large number of students in one generation, the state creates the conditions that will make it more difficult to educate the next generation of students as well.”
