Promising to fix or improve schools is a staple of seemingly every political campaign, but doing so has proven challenging for decades.

Each time the nation's report card is released, the assessment fuels more debate about declining test scores and how to help students do better.

However, in recent years, there's been a bright spot in Mississippi, particularly in the fourth grade, where students are improving their reading proficiency.

Former Mississippi governor Phil Bryant recently joined the rundown’s Lisa Brady to discuss how his state has improved children's literacy scores and what some are calling the “Mississippi miracle”.

Bryant credits the state's Literacy-Based Promotion Act*, which he signed in 2013, for much of the improvement and explains how the changes it brought can serve as a blueprint for the rest of the nation.

We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant and learn more about how the Magnolia state turned its test scores around.
