Funding

How Mississippi funds schools

Beginning in 2024–25 Mississippi funds districts through the Mississippi Student Funding Formula (MSFF), which replaced the long-running MAEP. The MSFF sets a base student cost — $6,695.34 per pupil — and adds weighted funding for low-income, special-education, English-learner, gifted and sparse-district students, with the state and local property taxes together meeting the formula total.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Attala County Schools are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Mississippi assigns A–F accountability grades through the Mississippi Succeeds Report Card, scoring districts on proficiency and growth in reading and math, graduation rate, acceleration and English-learner progress. Look up Attala County Schools on the Mississippi Succeeds Report Card.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Mississippi operates a mandatory state accreditation system through the Mississippi Department of Education, tied to the accountability grades and state process standards; many districts also hold voluntary Cognia accreditation. Look up Attala County Schools in the free Cognia registry.
