Schoolwide vs. Targeted Title I Program Models

Schoolwide Program

  • To improve academic achievement throughout a school so that all students, particularly the lowest-achieving students, and the historically underserved demonstrate proficiency related to the State’s academic standards. Eligible schoolwide schools meet a 40% low-income attendance area, must conduct a yearly comprehensive needs assessment and create an updated schoolwide plan that is reviewed by staff, community and stakeholders and updated each year.

Targeted Program

  • Only identified children may be eligible and served in a Title I targeted school model. Students served are chosen through criteria based on a points system and may be discharged from support once they meet the grade-level academic standards.
