Low income students are defined as those meeting free or reduced-price lunch criteria. Schools in poverty are defined by the percentage of low-income students. A Title I school must have: 1) a percentage of low-income students that is at least as high as the district’s overall percentage; OR 2) have at least 35 percent low-income students (whichever is the lower of the two figures).
