Jumpstart Test Prep (Jumpstart), through Mississippi legislative appropriation to the Mississippi Department of Education, announces pilot schools for the 2025-26 school year.
The pilot program is aimed at helping public high school students increase ACT® (juniors), ACT WorkKeys®, and Algebra I / English II EOC performance, and third-party efficacy research has demonstrated substantial gains over prior-best scores. This year’s selected cohort of public high schools will receive support, resources, and program guidance to improve school performance on these assessments. Selected schools were randomly drawn by a third party and complete methodology and draw details can be found here: https://jumpstarttestprep.com/pilot/2025-26-mississippi-pilot-act-act-workkeys-algebra
Jumpstart Test Prep will meet to discuss programs and efficacy research with any interested district or school, regardless of pilot program participation.
