What stands out about Biloxi Public School Dist

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +34.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Mississippi's statewide +28.6% by 5.9 points, a growth rate faster than 73% of the 136 Mississippi districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 6,243 to 5,812 students (6.9% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up. Districts on that path are usually holding staffing steady against a falling roll, which lifts the per-teacher figure without anyone getting a raise, so read this page's salary estimate alongside the enrolment line rather than on its own.
