Rankin County School District
Rankin County School District’s state funding for the 2024-2025 school year is $109,885,811, provided under the new, fully funded Mississippi Student Funding Formula (MSFF).
Statewide, funding for public schools increased by $239-million, but some districts, like Rankin County, received relatively flat funding.

Nationally, Mississippi ranks near the bottom, 47th among the states, in per pupil school spending (U.S. Census, Public Education Finances: FY2022, published May 2024) but much higher, 25th among the states, in the rigor of our academic standards (Education Next, published May 2018).
