We've all heard the argument: "If we just spend more money, schools will improve."

But what happens when we actually look at the data?

Some Mississippi districts spend thousands more per student than others, yet they aren't necessarily producing better results.

That's exactly why CompareMySchool.com exists. We believe parents and taxpayers deserve to see the numbers for themselves.

Mississippi's economy has pulled away — and it's no accident.

Real GDP up year after year: labor reform, a flat tax, school choice, and the income tax on its way out.

Mississippi taxpayers spend roughly $11,000 per student each year in public education.

That's more than the average tuition at many private schools across the state.

So here's an important question: If the funding follows the student either way, shouldn't families have access to clear information about all of their options?

At Compare My School, we're helping parents and taxpayers better understand where education dollars go, how schools perform, and how districts compare across Mississippi.

The conversation around education should begin with facts, not assumptions.

How is your child really doing in school?

For the first time, Mississippi parents can see how their child's MAAP scores compare not only to their school and district, but also to statewide averages and national benchmarks.

Too often, parents receive a test score without any meaningful context. Compare My School helps bridge that gap by turning complex education data into information families can actually use.

Simply enter your child's MAAP score and see where they stand compared to:
✔ Their school
✔ Their district
✔ Mississippi averages
✔ National NAEP benchmarks

Because informed parents make empowered decisions.

Tomorrow morning, Douglas Carswell will join MidDays with Gerard Gibert on SuperTalk Mississippi to discuss the launch of CompareMySchool.com, Mississippi's first interactive school comparison tool.

Built using publicly available data, CompareMySchool.com allows families to search schools, compare them side-by-side, explore districts on an interactive map, and better understand how schools are performing across the state.

Whether you're planning a move, researching schools, or simply curious about how your local school compares, this new tool puts the information in one place and makes it easier to understand.

Tune in just after 11:00 AM on Wednesday as Douglas and Gerard discuss the tool, the data behind it, and why empowering families with information matters.

Clear data. Better choices.
