National Test Find Only 18% of Mississippi 4th Graders Proficient In Reading

Its report compared the way in many states, students considered proficient in reading on the state tests were not considered proficient on the National Assessment. In Mississippi, for example, the state test found that 87 percent of fourth graders were proficient in reading. According to the national test, only 18 percent were.

Mr Bounds how do you explain this?
