MDE has designated the seven elementary schools as Mississippi Emerging Science of Reading (SOR) Schools for the 2025-25 school year. Congratulations to Lewisburg Primary, Lake Cormorant Elementary, Luther Branson Elementary, McLaurin Elementary, Pelahatchie Elementary, North Bay Elementary and Waveland Elementary. MDE has also designated Senatobia Elementary as a Mississippi Science of Reading School. The Emerging SOR designation is for schools that have trained teachers in the science of reading, exemplified a change of instructional practices, and embodied a school culture that focuses on building skillful, strong readers in kindergarten through third grade. The SOR school designation may be awarded after a school has been an Emerging SOR school for two consecutive years.
