Title I Academic Achievement AwardsThe Title I Academic Achievement Award is given only to schools receiving federal Title I funds as authorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Title I is the single largest federal educational program for K-12 public education. Title I funds assist schools in meeting the educational needs of students living near or at the poverty level. Of the more than 9,000 schools in California, more than 6,000 of them participate in the Title I program.
The criteria to qualify for the Title I Academic
Achievement Award have become more rigorous in recent years. To meet
the criteria for this distinction, the school must demonstrate that all
students are making significant progress toward proficiency on
California's academic content standards. Additionally, the school's
socioeconomically disadvantaged students must have doubled the
achievement targets set for them for two consecutive years.
The award is presented annually by the California Department of Education.
