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 Neshoba County Schools are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

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 Neshoba County Schools on the Mississippi Succeeds Report Card.

Accreditation

Accreditation status
