Loreta Hickey Elementary School

The Title I program is designed to provide supplemental support to students who have been identified as scoring at or below the 25th percentile on district diagnostics and are at risk of not being successful on state assessments.  All students who fail the TAKS test and attend a Title I school, qualify for services. Additional staff positions and teaching resources are funded with the Title I federal grant money.  This allows identified students to receive the additional help needed to close their achievement gap.

There are two levels of school eligibility: Schoolwide and Targeted Assistance.

• A targeted assistance program serves only eligible children who are identified with the “greatest need” for special assistance.

• A schoolwide program permits a school to use funds from Title I, Part A to upgrade the entire educational program of the school in order to raise academic achievement for all students.

Our school is a Schoolwide campus.
