What stands out about how Jones Creek is run
Read from the village’s budget and official records.
Brazosport Independent School District
Jones Creek’s K–12 school district, shared with Freeport, Oyster Creek, Quintana, Surfside Beach, Richwood and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $13,423 per pupil, $7,680 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Texas districts overall: 51% local, 36% state, 13% federal.

Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Jones Creek collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
Jones Creek didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
