Dana Road Elementary is one of six state schools designated as Mississippi Emerging Science of Reading Schools (SOR) by the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) for the 2024-25 school year.
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.
The 2024-25 Mississippi Science of Reading School is Senatobia Elementary.
The six 2024-25 Mississippi Emerging Science of Reading Schools are Chickasaw Elementary, Ripley Elementary, McLaurin Elementary, Dana Road Elementary, Jefferson County Elementary and Beach Elementary.
Vicksburg Warren School District Superintendent Dr. Toriano Holloway said he is proud of the school’s achievement and looks forward to even more success as the new school year begins.
