You are wrong about how a district qualifies for Title 1. Title 1 is Federal funding for districts that are economically disadvantaged. It may go hand in hand that economically disadvantaged students perform lower than their more affluent counterparts, but that does not make them Title 1. It is based on income levels only.

Title 1 means that the majority of children of your school come from impoverished homes – not that they are low performing or unable to learn. I taught at a Title 1 school for 6 years & we were one of the top schools in our school district & in the state. Title 1 means that your school gets federal funds to buy the necessary materials to help every child in your school reach their potentials! Be grateful for the extra funding & don’t get hung up on a label. Title 1 does not mean the teachers won’t do an amazing job. Unless they too think that poverty equals lack of ability.

Title I — Improving The Academic Achievement Of The Disadvantaged
It looks like you have an image of public schools through which you filter everything… and don’t come to accurate conclusions. Consider, are you being helpful? Or merely perpetuating misunderstanding?
