Reading the Magnolia numbers
Magnolia ISD is a rounding error away from Conroe ISD: $26 a year at $300,000 assessed is all that separates the third-lowest rate in the table from the second-lowest. The two also split their rates in almost the same proportions, so nothing about Magnolia's position hinges on debt structure — it is simply priced alongside its neighbour. What separates Magnolia from the county's mid-table cluster is real money, though: Willis ISD costs $230 more a year, and Montgomery ISD $399 more, on the same $300,000 value.
A $300,000 home zoned to Magnolia ISD pays $470 more school tax each year than the same home in Richards ISD, the county's lowest-rate district, and $891 less than in New Caney ISD, its highest.

The City of Magnolia levy on top
The 2025 city table lists City of Magnolia at 0.228%. Inside the city limits — in the Montgomery County portion, for cities that cross county lines — a Magnolia-zoned bill runs 1.716% of value — $5,149 at $300,000 — while the same home outside any city stays at 1.489%. City limits and district lines are independent boundaries; a parcel can be inside either, both, or neither.
7 special districts give Magnolia as their city in the Comptroller's district database. A parcel inside one adds that district's own rate on top of all of the above — the district index carries each rate and each district's reported debt.
