**Introduction to the Report**

The *State* ESEA[^1] *Title I Participation Summary Report for 2003-04*
summarizes the participation data for the Title I, Part A (Title I),
Grants to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) program. This program provides
federal funds to assist eligible school districts and schools in
supporting opportunities for at-risk children[^2] to acquire the
necessary knowledge and skills to meet challenging state content and
achievement standards. Title I serves at-risk children from preschool
through high school, including providing supplemental services to many
special populations, including children with disabilities, students with
limited English proficiency (LEP), and migrant children. This program
also provides services to eligible children in nonpublic schools and in
local institutions serving neglected or delinquent students and offers
other support services, such as family literacy services.

This report provides Title I participation data for 2003-04, the second
year the *No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB)* was implemented. The
report also presents comparisons with 2002-03 and previous years that
were covered by prior laws, including the *Improving America's Schools
Act of 1994 (IASA)*. Topics include districts, schools and students
served, the range of instructional and support services provided, Title
I staffing patterns, and schools' progress toward meeting performance
standards, as reported by states on Parts I and II of the *Consolidated
State Performance Reports (CSPR).* The tables shown in this report
reflect data submitted by the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and Puerto Rico. State-by-state tables
follow the text. This report supplements the information provided in the
*2003-04 No Child Left Behind Annual Report to Congress*, also prepared
by the U.S. Department of Education (the Department).

**The quality and timeliness of the state-submitted data continue to be
an issue.** States were required to submit Part I of the *CSPR* to the
Department in January 2005 and Part II in April 2005; however, not all
states met these deadlines. Wyoming did not submit complete 2003-04
Title I participation figures for Part II, so the state-level tables at
the end of this report show blank cells for this state. In addition, the
states often submitted reports that were incomplete or included apparent
errors or inconsistencies. The states were contacted and asked to verify
their data or provide revised data. Four states did not submit revised
data and two states did not provide final verification of their *CSPR*
data. State data that differed dramatically from previous years and
could not be verified were omitted from the data analyses.

The problem of incomplete data is greatest when the *CSPR* data
collection form changes from one year to the next. There are, however,
some instances in which states did not provide required information for
items in which the data collection form remained the same as in the
previous year. In order to improve the submission process in the future,
the Department is collaborating with states through tools such as the
Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN) and the ED*Facts* reporting
system.

During the data verification process, states could revise information
submitted for 2003-04 as well as information submitted for earlier
years. As a result of these revisions, some of the information shown in
this report for years prior to 2003-04 differs from previously published
figures. Additionally, a new table has been included in this report
showing the number of districts identified for improvement.

The 2003-04 achievement results will be reported separately in *State
Education Indicators With a Focus on Title I: 2003-04.* Refer to the
Department's Web site at
http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/opepd/ppss/reports.html#title.

**Title I School Information**

![](media/image2.wmf)The Title I, Part A, Grants to LEAs program
represents the single largest investment in elementary and secondary
education by the federal government, comprising almost half (48 percent)
of federal funds appropriated for this purpose. **The program was funded
at \$11.7 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2003, which was primarily intended
for use during the 2003-04 school year.** In constant dollars, funding
for the Title I Grants to LEAs program has risen steadily since the
mid-1980s. The rate of increase was larger during the 2001-02 to 2005-06
period compared to previous years. (See Figure 1.)

For FY 2003 (primarily for use in school year 2003-04), Title I funds
were allocated through four funding formulas---Basic Grants and
Concentration Grants, as well as Targeted and Education Finance
Incentive Grants. At \$7.1 billion for FY 2003, Basic Grants represented
the largest of the four funding streams. Basic Grants provide funds for
school districts with at least 10 federal formula-eligible children,
ages 5-17, who make up more than 2 percent of a district's overall
enrollment. Concentration Grants amounted to \$1.4 billion in FY 2003
and go to districts in which the number of formula-eligible children
exceeds 6,500 or 15 percent of the district enrollment.

The Targeted Grants formula allocates funds using a weighting system
that provides more funding per formula-eligible child to districts with
higher numbers or percentages of these children. To qualify, a district
must have at least 10 formula-eligible children and the number of these
children must be at least 5 percent of the district's school-age
population. For FY 2003, the Targeted Grants program was funded at \$1.7
million. The Education Finance Incentive Grants (EFIG) has the same
district eligibility criteria as the Targeted Grants. In addition, the
EFIG incorporates two state-level factors that measure: (1) the state's
effort to provide financial support for education compared with its
relative wealth as measured by its per capita income (fiscal effort
factor); and (2) the degree to which education expenditures among school
districts within a state are equalized (equity factor). This program was
funded at \$1.5 million for FY 2003.

Targeted Assistance Schools (TAS) and

Schoolwide Program (SWP) Schools

![](media/image3.wmf)

**The Title I Grants to LEAs program provided services to students in
more than 54,000 schools in 2003-04.** Schools in districts receiving
Title I funds are eligible for Title I assistance if their poverty rate
is at least equal to the districtwide average or is at least 35 percent.
Eligibility, however, does not guarantee the receipt of funds, and
districts may choose to target their Title I funds to schools with
higher poverty levels. Also, because districts must serve schools in
rank order by school poverty rate, some eligible schools may not receive
Title I funds if they are lower in their district's ranking and all of
the district\'s Title I funds are used in the higher-poverty schools.
The statute provides several options to districts for measuring school
poverty levels, and most districts use the percentage of students
eligible for free or reduced-price lunches as their measure.

Schools may use their Title I funds to serve students in either a
targeted assistance or schoolwide program setting. Targeted assistance
schools use Title I funds to serve individual students who are failing
or most at risk of failing to achieve state academic achievement
standards and are selected for services based on multiple, educationally
related, objective criteria. Schoolwide program schools must use Title I
funds to improve their educational programs as a whole, and may combine
other federal, state, and local funds with Title I funds to accomplish
this purpose. In 2003-04, a school was eligible to operate as a
schoolwide program if its poverty rate was at least 40 percent; the
eligibility threshold for a school to operate as a schoolwide program
has been lowered repeatedly over time, from a high of 75 percent prior
to 1994-95.

**In 2003-04, the 30,279 schoolwide programs represented 55 percent of
all Title I schools; this number has been rising steadily since
1996-97** (See Figure 2). See Table 1 on page 10 for state-by-state
counts of targeted assistance schools and schoolwide programs.

Due in part to the increase in schoolwide programs, the overall number
of students counted as Title I participants also has increased in recent
years. In schoolwide programs, all students in the school are Title I
participants; in targeted assistance programs, however, only students
selected for receiving specific Title I-funded services are Title I
participants.

### Districts and Schools Identified for Improvement

![](media/image4.wmf)

The Title I statute requires districts to annually review the progress
of each Title I school to determine whether the school is making
adequate yearly progress (AYP) toward enabling its students to meet
state content standards. Schools that do not make AYP for two
consecutive years are identified for improvement.[^3]

States make AYP determinations and prepare the list of identified
schools for the upcoming school year using the previous year's
assessment results. Assessment data from the 2003-04 and 2002-03 school
years, therefore, were used to identify schools for improvement in
2004-05. The 2004-05 school year marks the first year schools were
identified for improvement based solely on the new *NCLB* accountability
provisions. These schools had missed AYP both years since 2002-03, the
year states began measuring AYP as required by *NCLB*. Figure 3 shows
schools identified for improvement based on missing AYP for two
consecutive years, as well as schools in the corrective action or
restructuring phases of school improvement.

Of relevance to the number of schools in improvement, states sometimes
make changes to the state assessments used to determine AYP from one
year to the next. These changes can range from changing the proficiency
levels to implementing an entirely new testing program. Additionally,
*NCLB* requires student testing in grades 3 through 8 and once in grades
10 through 12 starting in 2005-06. By 2003-04, many states had
implemented new testing regimens to comply with the new *NCLB* testing
requirements. All of these factors contribute to changes in state
assessment systems and may impact both the state-level student
proficiency rates and the schools identified for improvement. From
2000-01 to 2001-02, seven states made changes to their assessments. From
2001-02 to 2002-03, with the implementation of *NCLB*, this figure
increased to 20 states. From 2002-03 to 2003-04, five states made
changes, with two of the five states revising middle school
assessments.[^4]

**Districts**

States reported on districts identified for improvement for the first
time in the 2005 *CSPR*. Districts were identified for improvement for
the 2004-05 school year based on 2003-04 and 2002-03 assessment results.
Forty-eight states provided counts of these districts. **In these
states, a total of 1,770 districts were identified.** Seven states
indicated that zero districts were identified for improvement and seven
other states had between one and five districts in this category. (See
Table 2 on p. 11.)

**Schools**

**States reported that, overall, 9,770 Title I schools (18 percent) were
identified for improvement in 2004-05.** This figure includes all
schools identified for improvement, corrective action, or restructuring,
regardless of how many years they had been identified. (See Figure 3 and
Table 3 on p. 12.) Many states experienced an increase in the number of
schools identified for improvement in 2004-05. Among the schools listed
were those that had missed both years of AYP since the start of *NCLB*
implementation. With the return of the 2003-04 assessment results,
states had collected the two years of data needed to identify schools
for improvement for the first time under the *NCLB* accountability
provisions.

*NCLB* changed how states identified schools for improvement. Under the
previous law (*IASA*), states set reporting requirements for AYP targets
that could be absolute or relative, summarized across subjects and
aggregated for all students at a school. In contrast, *NCLB* requires
more specific criteria for AYP, including the goal of all students
achieving proficiency by 2013-14, as well as accountability for the
achievement of key groups of students. Both *IASA* and *NCLB*, however,
placed final responsibility for the details of AYP definitions in the
hands of state policymakers. Additionally, each year, a small number of
states have not reported information for this item, so the national
totals do not include the same states from year to year.[^5]

**Title I Student Participation**

![](media/image5.wmf)**Overall Participation Patterns**

**The number of students counted as Title I participants has risen
steadily, particularly beginning in 1996-97, when much larger numbers of
Title I schools began implementing the schoolwide program option,
whereby all students in the school are Title I participants.** Prior to
1996-97, a majority of schools operated targeted assistance programs,
whereby only students receiving specific Title I-funded services were
counted as participants. In 2003-04, 85 percent of Title I participants
were in schoolwide programs, 13 percent were in targeted assistance
schools, and the remaining participants were in private schools
(1 percent) or local programs for neglected and delinquent children
(1 percent). (See Figure 4 above and Table 4 on pp. 13 and 14.)

The total number of Title I participants was 18.0 million in 2003-04, a
9 percent increase over the 2002-03 participation level of 16.5 million
students. (See Table 5 on p. 15.)

### Grade-Level Participation

![](media/image6.wmf)

Despite increases in the number of participants in the Title I Grants to
LEAs program, the participation rate by grade level remained virtually
unchanged in 2003-04. **As in past years, participation in TAS, SWP, and
private schools was concentrated in the elementary grades for 2003-04,
with about three-quarters of participants in pre-kindergarten through
grade 6.**

Participation in Part A Neglected or Delinquent programs[^6] was
concentrated in the higher grades, with 68 percent of students in grade
seven or above. (See Table 6 on p. 16.)

### Racial and Ethnic Classification

![](media/image7.wmf)**Minority students accounted for almost two-thirds
of Title I participants in 2003-04.** Thirty-five percent of Title I
participants were Hispanic, 25 percent were black non-Hispanic, and
33 percent were classified as white, non-Hispanic. Asian and Pacific
Islander students accounted for 3 percent of participants, American
Indian or Alaska Native students comprised 2 percent, and other students
represented 1 percent. [^7] (See Figure 6 and Table 7 on pp. 17 and 18.)

**Over the past 26 years (since 1979**-**80), the proportion of Hispanic
students has increased from 16 to 35** **percent of all Title I
participants,** while the percentage of black, non-Hispanic participants
has decreased from 31 to 25 percent and the percentage of white,
Non-Hispanic participants has declined from 53 to 33 percent. Since
2000-01, the reported percentage of Hispanic students has been
approximately equal to the percentage of white, non-Hispanic
participants. The 2003-04 school year is the first year more Hispanic
than white, non-Hispanic students participated in Title I. The
percentage of participants from other racial and ethnic groups,
including American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian, and Pacific Islander
students, remained largely unchanged during this period. (See Figure 7
and Table 8 on p. 19.)

![](media/image8.wmf)

### Special Populations Served by Title I

A significant proportion of Title I participants are students from
special populations. These children include **students with
disabilities,** who in 2003-04 represented 12 percent of the Title I
participants. For 2003-04, 16 percent of Title I participants were
classified as **students with limited English proficiency,** and
2 percent were **migrant** students.

Refer to Tables 9-11 (on pp. 20-22) for detailed, state-by-state special
population participation information.

**Services Supported by Title I**

Instructional and supporting service information is reported *only* for
participants in TAS schools, because schoolwide programs serve all
students and upgrade the entire instructional program in those
high-poverty schools.

**Instructional Services**

![](media/image9.wmf){width="4.461805555555555in"
height="3.3472222222222223in"}

States report on TAS students receiving any of five categories of
instructional services with Title I, Part A funds ---reading or language
arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and other instructional
services. Among these, the most common services provided were reading or
language arts and mathematics. For the 2003-04 reporting year, 83
percent of TAS participants received instruction in reading and
52 percent received instruction in mathematics.[^8] (See Figure 8
and Table 12 on p. 23.)

#### Other Support Services

As in past years, smaller percentages of TAS students received other
Title I-funded support services. In 2003-04, 23 percent of students
received Title I-supported guidance or counseling or social work, 12
percent received health or dental services, and 22 percent received
support services classified as other, such as transportation, home
visits, nutrition and health education, and speech therapy. (See Figure
8 and Table 12 on p. 23.)

**Title I TAS Staffing Patterns**

Staffing data are only available for schools that operated targeted
assistance programs in 2003-04

(45 percent of Title I schools). States were asked to report staffing
data for these schools and not those that operated schoolwide programs,
due to the structural differences between the programs. However, these
data may include some district-level staff who work with multiple
schools, including schoolwide programs, for which data are otherwise not
available.

![](media/image10.wmf)

**Teachers accounted for over half (57 percent) of all Title I full-time
equivalent (FTE) staff in targeted assistance schools, a percentage that
has risen steadily over the past four years, while the percentage of FTE
staff who were teacher aides has declined.** Specifically, the
percentage of FTE staff who were teachers rose from 44 percent in
1999-2000 to 57 percent in 2003-04, and the percentage who were teacher
aides declined from 41 percent to 31 percent over this same period.

![](media/image11.wmf)**Together, teachers and teacher aides accounted
for 88 percent of the reported total of 62,556 Title I staff.** Other
Title I staff included administrators (3 percent), support staff (5
percent), and other staff (3 percent). (See Figures 9 and 10 and Tables
13 and 14 on pp. 24 and 26.)

\+ No state performance report information was collected for the 1995-96
school year.

**Note:** There were two major changes to the reporting form since
1979-80. In 1998-99, states were required to provide separate counts of
the number of Local N or D participants. With the advent of public
targeted assistance schools (TAS) and schoolwide program (SWP) schools,
the Department required states to provide separate TAS and SWP counts of
public participants starting in 1996-97.

> Percents (across) may not add to 100 due to rounding. For 1997-98, two
> states were unable to provide participation information broken out by
> TAS and SWP. For 1998-99 and 1999-2000, Missouri was the only state
> unable to provide this information. For these states, all of their
> participants are reported in the overall totals but not in the public
> TAS and SWP breakouts. Not all states provided information on Local N
> or D for all years.

**Note:** In this table, the figures include TAS and SWP students
combined, as a small number of states were unable to provide this
information separately. In 2002-03, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wyoming
were unable to provide this information. In 2003-04, Wyoming was unable
to provide this information. Therefore, this table does not include
participants from these states in the total calculations.

\+ No State Performance Report information was collected for the 1995-96
school year.

\*\* Starting with this reporting year, states were asked to report
information for only Targeted Assistance (TAS) schools. In 1996-97, the
information submitted by the states was nearly equally divided between
those states which submitted information for TAS schools only and those
which submitted information for TAS and schoolwide (SWP) combined. By
the 1998-99 reporting year, all states indicated that the reported data
was for TAS schools only.

**Note:** In 2002-03, Florida, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wyoming did
not submit counts of TAS FTE staff. In 2003-04, Wyoming did not submit
counts of TAS FTE staff.

[^1]: The *Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA),* as amended by
    the *Improving America's Schools Act*, Pub. L. No. 103‑382, 108
    Stat. 3518 et seq. (1994). This act was further amended by the *No
    Child Left Behind Act*, Pub. L. No. 107‑110, 20 U.S.C. § 6301 (2002)
    (enacted Jan. 8, 2002).

[^2]: LEAs target the Title I funds they receive to schools with the
    highest percentages of children from low-income families. Schools in
    which poor children make up at least 40 percent of enrollment are
    eligible to use Title I funds for schoolwide programs that serve all
    children in the school. Unless a participating school is operating a
    schoolwide program, the school must focus Title I services on
    children who are failing, or most at-risk of failing, to meet state
    academic standards.

[^3]: Detailed data on achievement at the state level will be provided
    in the *State Education Indicators With a Focus on Title I:*
    *2003-04 (forthcoming)* report. The *2003-04 No Child Left Behind
    Annual Report to Congress* will also present state-level achievement
    information.

[^4]: The *State Education Indicators With a Focus on Title I:* *2003-04
    (forthcoming)* report contains information on the number of states
    changing their assessments.

[^5]: Every state sets its own definition of AYP, which must be approved
    by the Department and adhere to the principals of *NCLB*. As there
    is variation in state AYP targets and objectives, state-to-state
    comparisons must be interpreted with caution.

[^6]: The Part A Neglected or Delinquent program provides services for
    children living in local institutions for neglected children. These
    services are provided by the school district and are to be
    comparable to the services provided to the students enrolled in the
    elementary and secondary schools in the district.

[^7]: States can, and do, provide counts of students classified as
    "other" in their racial and ethnic breakouts despite the fact this
    option is not available on the official data collection instrument.

[^8]: Figure 8 and Table 12 do not include data from Illinois, a state
    which had data that fluctuated widely from the previous year,
    raising concerns about validity. Illinois reported that the number
    of TAS students receiving Title I services increased nearly 600
    percent from 2002-03 to 2003-04 for reading services and over 1,000
    percent for mathematics.
