What Is Title I?

It’s the largest federal assistance program for our nation’s schools.

The goal of Title I is to provide a high quality education for every child. The program provides extra help to students who need it most. These are children who are the furthest from meeting the standards the state has set for all children.

The program serves millions of children in elementary and secondary schools each year. Most school districts participate.
