COTTON INDIAN ELEMENTARY

LEADER IN ME 2015-2016

WHAT IS A TITLE 1 SCHOOL?

Each year the Federal Government provides funding to schools that qualify based on the number of students receiving free and reduced lunches.

The goal of Title 1 is to create a partnership between school and family to ensure our students reach their highest level of social and academic achievement and to overcome barriers to success.

Title 1 provides additional assistance for students who show deficits in the area of reading and/or math. Student participation is based on F and P scores, IKAN/GLOSS, and teacher recommendation.

Students receive instruction in smaller settings and are served by certified teachers.

Cotton Indian Elementary School has not been given a school designation this year, which means we are continuing to provide a quality education to all of our students.
