What Mississippi publishes

The agencies behind our Mississippi listings publish the agency’s own letter grades. None of them publish a score out of 100, so every Mississippi score on GradeLocal is a GradeLocal score, worked out from the official result.

How GradeLocal grades Mississippi restaurants

When the agency publishes its own letter, we use that letter. When an agency publishes an F, we show it as a D.

Results with no score of their own get a set score for each letter: A is 95, B is 85, C is 72 and D is 50.

There are four letters, A to D, with no F. The same rule applies in every state, and the cutoffs are never adjusted for a state, county or city. We always use the latest inspection.
