MS School Districts — Map of Assessed Values of Real Property

Assessed Values of all Real Property in each School District shows for each school district the total assessed value of the real estate in the school district. This map illustrates the great disparity in wealth among the school districts and the great disparity in the capacity to raise local funds to support the operations of local school districts.
MS School Districts – Map of the Value of a Single Mill

Value of a Single Mill in each School District shows for each school district the value of a single mill. The value of a single mill is worth much in wealthier school districts than it is in low-wealth school districts. This disparity has great impact on whether the local school district has the capacity to raise local funds to meet the educational needs of the school district.

Number of Mills Assessed by School Districts for School District Taxes shows for each school district the Millage Rate set, or the number of dollars in tax to be assessed per thousand buy zolpidem dollars of assessed value for each parcel in the district. Where a school district has land in more than one county and has set a different Mill Rate in each county, we show that on the map.

Map of Taxes Levied per Student by School District

This map on “Taxes Levied per Student by School District” shows the dollar amount of local taxes levied per student in each school district. This data shows the effort each school district has made to raise local funds through taxation to support public education.
