*Because of the variety of grades within schools it is impossible to categorize all schools in Mississippi as Elementary or Secondary. Therefore, all schools will be categorized as:

Elementary (K-8)

Secondary (7-12)

Combined Elementary & Secondary (K-12)

Vocational-Technical Education

State Special Schools

**The number of schools varies from other reports in this publication because resource schools without students are included in this report only.
