TIMBER RIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL (6 - 8)

The display shows the building’s Title I status. There are five possible values:

• Not a Participant in Title One Program

• “Title I Targeted” assistance must focus services to identify students most at risk of failing through multiple objective criteria. Services, including supplies, must focus on those students identified.

• “Title I Schoolwide” may focus services to the entire school. Schoolwide Title I status is defined as schools with students classified as low income, poverty percentage of 40% or greater. A school that identifies as “Schoolwide” is not required to identify at risk students and may focus their allocation and efforts on increasing whole school academic achievement.

• “Title I Eligible but Not Served” qualifies the school for Title I services but the district determines if the attendance center 1) will not receive an allotment (non-Title I schools); 2) receives supplemental allotments from other state and local funding streams; and 3) expends state and local funding equal to or exceeding the allocation amount that would be provided under Title I.

• “Title I Ineligible Due to Ranking” requires that a district rank and serve all attendance areas in poverty order, highest to lowest. Schools may be deemed ineligible due to the poverty ranking criteria.
