Districts are grouped into four tax rate categories, or quartiles, with approximately equal numbers of districts in each. This category shows the total locally adopted tax rate, the rate established by each local school district for the 2001-02 school year and reported to the State Comptroller. The 186 non-taxing entities (charters and the special statutory districts) are in a separate category because they do not collect property taxes and have no tax rates.
