What is Title 1?

Title 1 is the largest federal program in K-12 education.  The funding is intended to improve the quality of education and to give extra support to students who are identified to be below district benchmark expectations.  Title 1 schools focus supplementary  services on specific children selected for inclusion in the program  based on educational need, usually according to test scores.  State College Area School District offers Title 1 reading services to grade K-5.
