Acknowledgments

We wish to thank the many individuals who contributed to the completion of this report. 

Particularly helpful were several individuals at the U.S. Department of Education. Barbara Coates, 

Kirsten Duncan, Joseph McCrary, and Jessica Hausman of the Policy and Program Studies Service served 

as project officers for this study and provided invaluable substantive guidance and support for both the 

2001–02 data collection and the production of this report. Charles Laster and Mary Moran of the Office of 

Student Achievement and School Accountability Programs Group worked with the Title I coordinators in 

the states to obtain all of the necessary Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR) data and provided 

us with useful comments and suggestions as we developed this report.

We are also grateful to the Title I coordinators in each state for their cooperation and assistance in 

verifying the information submitted on the CSPR for 2001–02.

Introduction to the Report

The State ESEA1 Title I Participation Summary Report for 2001–02 summarizes data for the Title I, Part A, 

Grants to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) program. The Title I Grants to LEAs program provides federal 

financial assistance to eligible school districts and schools to assist them in providing opportunities for 

children most at risk to help them acquire knowledge and skills to meet challenging state content and 

performance standards. The Part A program can serve children as young as preschool age and as old as the 

high school level and provides supplemental services to many special populations including children with 

disabilities, students with limited English proficiency (LEP), and migrant children. This program also 

provides services outside of the traditional public school setting to eligible children in nonpublic schools and 

local institutions for neglected or delinquent students, as well as other support services such as family literacy 

services. 

This report provides Title I participation data for 2001–02, prior to the implementation of the No Child Left 

Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), and reflects implementation under the prior law, the Improving America’s 

Schools Act of 1994 (IASA). The report also presents comparisons to 2000–01 and previous years. 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 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-bystate tables follow the text that amplify the participation data and offer readers a more detailed look at 

several aspects of the Title I program.

The quality and timeliness of the state-submitted data continue to be an issue. For 2001–02, state 

reports were due to the U.S. Department of Education (ED) in fall 2003, but not all states met this deadline

with some states submitting their reports as late as spring 2004. In addition, the state reports, once 

submitted, were often incomplete or included apparent errors and inconsistencies that required repeated 

follow-up calls to states. The problem of incomplete data is greatest when there are changes to the data 

collection instrument from one year to the next. There are, however, some instances where states are unable 

to provide some of the required information even though there have been no changes to the data collection 

instrument from the previous year. ED continues to work with states to improve both the quality and 

timeliness of their submissions. Further, ED’s Performance-Based Data Management Initiative (PBDMI) 

also is intended to improve data quality and reporting in future years. 

The reporting requirements for Title I have changed under the NCLB legislation that reauthorized ESEA. 

However, as noted above, this report is based on the 2001–02 school year and previous (IASA) reporting 

requirements.

As part of the verification process, states could and did revise information submitted for 2001–02 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 2001–02 differs from previously published figures.

Title I School and Local Education Agency Information

The Title I, Part A, Grants to LEAs 

program represents the single largest 

investment in elementary and secondary 

education by the federal government. 

This program was funded at $8.6 

billion in FY 2001, which is primarily 

intended for use during the 2001–02

school year; three years later, in FY 

2004, total appropriations had risen 

to $12.3 billion. This program 

represents almost half (48 percent) of 

federal funds appropriated to support 

elementary and secondary education. 

When shown in constant dollars, 

funding for the Title I Grants to LEAs 

program has risen steadily since the 

mid-1980s. The funding increases were 

particularly dramatic over the most recent four years (2001–02 through 2004–05). (See fig. 1.)

For 2001–02, Title I funds were allocated through two funding formulas—Basic Grants and Concentration 

Grants. At $7.2 billion for 2001–02, Basic Grants were the largest of the two 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 the overall enrollment count in a district. Concentration Grants amounted 

to $1.4 billion and go to districts in which the number of formula-eligible children exceeds 6,500 or 15 

percent of the district enrollment. 

More than 90 percent of districts nationwide received Title I funding. See Table 1 on page 11 for state-bystate counts of participating school districts (LEAs).

Title I Schools by Poverty Level

In 2001–02, states reported that more 

than half (56 percent) of the Title I 

schools had rates of school poverty 

that were 50 percent or higher. The 

smallest group of Title I schools was 

those with moderate levels of poverty 

(from 35 percent to 49 percent). This 

group represented 18 percent of all Title 

I schools. These percentages did not 

change significantly from 2000–01 to 

2001–02. (See fig. 2 and table 2 on 

p. 12)

Poverty levels are determined within 

each school by calculating the 

percentage of students in the school 

eligible for the free or reduced-price 

lunch program. 

Targeted Assistance Schools (TAS) and 

Schoolwide Program (SWP) Schools

The Title I Grants to LEAs program 

provided services to students in more 

than 51,000 schools in 2001–02.

Schools are eligible for Title I 

assistance if their poverty rate is at least 

equal to the districtwide average or is at 

least 35 percent; however, districts may 

choose to target their Title I funds to 

schools with higher poverty levels.

While the statute provides several 

options for measuring school poverty 

levels, most districts use the percentage 

of students eligible for free or reducedprice lunches as their measure.

Schools may use their Title I grants to 

serve students in either a targeted 

assistance or schoolwide program setting. Targeted assistance schools use Title I funds to serve individual 

students with the lowest achievement levels as determined by performance on state assessments, whereas 

schoolwide program schools may use Title I funds more flexibly, in combination with other federal, state, 

and local funds, to improve the educational program of the school as a whole. In 2001–02, schools were 

eligible to operate as a schoolwide program if their poverty rate was at least 50 percent; the eligibility 

threshold for a school to operate as a schoolwide program has been lowered repeatedly over time, from 75 

percent prior to 1994–1995 to 40 percent under NCLB (effective in the 2002–03 school year).

State ESEA Title I Participation Information for 2001–02 Page 4

In 2001–02, the 26,513 schoolwide programs represented 52 percent of all Title I schools; this number 

has been rising steadily since 1996–97 (see fig. 3). See Table 3 on page 13 for state-by-state counts of 

targeted assistance schools and schoolwide programs.

As a result of the increase in schoolwide programs, the overall number of students counted as Title I 

participants also has increased significantly in recent years. In schoolwide programs, all students in the 

school are considered Title I participants, while in targeted assistance programs, only students receiving 

specific Title I-funded services are counted.

Schools Identified for Improvement

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 adequate 

yearly progress for two consecutive 

years are to be identified for 

improvement. 

This report is based on the 2001–02 

school year under IASA reporting 

requirements. Subsequent reports will 

be covered by NCLB. This has a direct 

impact on schools identified for 

improvement in that under IASA, states 

set targets for school performance. The AYP targets could be absolute or relative, summarized across 

subjects and aggregated for all students at a school. Under NCLB, in contrast, there are more specific 

criteria for AYP, including an end point of all students achieving proficiency by 2013–14 and accountability 

for the achievement of key subgroups of students. Both IASA and NCLB, however, place final responsibility 

for the details of AYP definitions in the hands of state and local policymakers. Additionally, each year, a 

small number of states did not report information for this item. Therefore the national totals are not made 

up of the same states from year to year.2

Readers also should note that states can, and do, 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 putting an 

entirely new testing program in place and can have a significant impact on both the state level student 

proficiency rates and the schools identified for improvement. From 2000–01 to 2001–02, seven states made 

this type of change. From 2001–02 to 2002–03, with the implementation of NCLB, this figure increased to 

20 states.

States reported that, overall, 6,735 schools (or 13 percent) participating in the Title I program in 2001–

02 were identified for improvement. This figure includes all schools identified for improvement, regardless 

of how many years they have been identified. (See fig. 4 and tables 4, 5a, and 5b on pp. 14–16.)

 

2 With the implementation of NCLB, every state will continue to use its own criteria for identifying schools in need of 

improvement. This means that state-to-state comparisons will continue to be difficult.

The percentage of schoolwide schools identified for improvement decreased from 22 to 19 percent and the 

percentage of targeted assistance schools identified for improvement decreased from 12 to 8 percent. Tables 

4, 5a, and 5b (on pp. 14–16) provide a state-by-state illustration of the two years of data, as well as 

footnotes to assist in the interpretation of the data. 

School Districts Identified for Improvement

In the same manner that districts review the progress of schools, states are to annually review the progress 

of districts (or LEAs) in enabling students to meet state content standards. Districts that do not meet AYP

targets for two consecutive years are to be identified for improvement. 

States reported identifying a total of 

1,201 districts for improvement in 

2001–02. This figure represents 

9 percent of all Title I school districts 

and shows a substantial decline from 

the 2,298 identified districts that states 

reported for the previous year. 

Moreover, only 24 states and the 

Bureau of Indian Affairs reported 

identifying any districts for 

improvement in 2001–02, a decline 

from the 33 states and the Bureau of 

Indian Affairs that reported identifying 

at least one district in 2000–01. A 

large number of states (22) reported 

that no districts had been identified for 

improvement in 2001–02, and six states 

(Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Minnesota, and Washington) did not report any information on the 

number of identified districts for that year. (See fig. 5 and table 1 on p. 11.)

The figures on the number of identified districts in each state should be interpreted with caution. The 

criteria used to identify school districts for improvement are developed within each state; therefore, they are 

not consistent from state to state. 

Additionally, as discussed under 

schools identified for improvement, 

states submitted data for the 2001–02

reporting year using IASA guidelines for 

improvement. Future reporting years 

will use the reporting requirements for 

NCLB.

2000–01, as reported by the states. (See fig. 6 and table 6 on p. 17.)

Targeted assistance schools (TAS) met AYP criteria at a higher rate than did schoolwide program (SWP)

schools. In 2001–02, 83 percent of TAS schools and 73 percent of SWP schools met their state criteria for 

AYP. In general, TAS schools have lower poverty rates and fewer disadvantaged students than do SWP 

schools. (See tables 7a and 7b on pp. 18 and 19.)

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) by Level of School Poverty

While the overall percentage of 

schools meeting state AYP criteria 

was 78 percent in 2001–02, the 

percentage of schools meeting the 

state criteria differed by level of 

school poverty. The lowest poverty 

schools met state AYP criteria at 

the highest rate (87 percent in 

2001–02), while the highest poverty 

schools were least likely to meet 

state AYP criteria (64 percent in 

2001–02). Although the overall rates 

increased slightly from 2000–01 to 

2001–02, the same pattern was in 

place for both years. (See fig. 7 and 

table 8 on p. 20.) 

Title I Student Participation

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 counted 

as Title I participants. Prior to 

1996–97, most schools had 

implemented targeted assistance 

programs, whereby only students 

receiving specific Title I-funded 

services were counted as participants. 

In 2001–02, 82 percent of Title I 

participants were in schoolwide 

programs and only 16 percent were in targeted assistance schools; the remaining participants were in private 

schools (1 percent) or local programs for neglected and delinquent children (1 percent). (See fig. 8 above 

and table 9 on p. 21.)

The total number of Title I participants was 15.8 million in 2001–02, a 5 percent increase over the 2000–01

participation level of 15.0 million students. 

Grade-Level Participation

Despite significant increases in the 

number of participants in the Title I 

Grants to LEAs program, the 

participation rate by grade level has 

remained virtually unchanged. As in 

past years, participation in TAS, 

SWP and private schools was 

concentrated in the elementary 

grades for 2001–02 with about threequarters of participants in 

prekindergarten through grade 6.

Participation in Part A Neglected or 

Delinquent programs3

 was concentrated 

in the higher grades with 68 percent of 

students in grade seven or higher. (See 

fig. 9 and table 11 on p. 24.) 

Racial and Ethnic Classification

Minority students accounted for two-thirds of Title I participants in 2001–02. Thirty-four percent of 

Title I participants were Hispanic, 27 percent were black non-Hispanic, and 34 percent of the participants 

were classified as white, non-Hispanic. Asian and Pacific Islander students accounted for 3 percent of 

participants, American Indian or Alaska Native students accounted for 2 percent, and other students 

accounted for 1 percent. (See fig. 10 and table 12 on p. 25.)

Over the past two decades (since 1979–80), Hispanic students have increased from 16 to 34 percent of 

total Title I participants while the percentage of white participants decreased from 53 to 34 percent and the 

percentage of black participants decreased from 31 to 27 percent. The 2001–02 school year was the first in 

which the reported number of Hispanic students exceeded the reported number of white participants. The 

percentage of participants from other racial and ethnic groups, including American Indian and Alaska 

Native students, and Asian and Pacific Islanders, remained largely unchanged during this period. (See fig.

11 and table 13 on p. 27.)

 

3 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.

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 2001–02 represented 12 percent of the Title I participants, up slightly over the 

percentage reported for 2000–01. For 2001–02, 16 percent of Title I participants were classified as students 

with limited English proficiency and 2 percent of the participants were children of migratory workers.

Refer to Tables 14-16 (on pp. 28–30) 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

States report on TAS students receiving five instructional services—“reading/language arts,” mathematics, 

science, social studies, and other instructional services. Among these, the most common services provided 

were “reading/language arts” and mathematics. For the 2001–02 reporting year, 78 percent of TAS 

participants received instruction in reading and 47 percent received instruction in mathematics. Both of 

these figures represent a decrease over the levels reported for 2000–01. The percentages reported here can, 

however, be somewhat misleading as some states reported duplicated counts. For example, if a student 

received instruction in both reading and language arts, the student would be counted twice for reporting 

purposes. (See fig. 12 and table 17 on p. 31.)

Other Support Services

As in past years, smaller percentages 

of TAS students received other 

Title I-funded support services. In 

2001–02, 19 percent of students 

received Title I-supported “guidance/

counseling/social work,” 11 percent 

received “health/dental” services, and 

6 percent received support services 

classified as “other” such as 

transportation, home visits, nutrition 

and clothing, and speech therapy. 

(See fig. 12 and table 17 on p. 31.) 

Family Literacy Services

The Title I legislation allows school 

districts to use Title I funds to 

conduct literacy programs for parents 

of Title I students in a collaborative 

attempt with adult education program 

providers to reach more adults with 

low literacy rates. 

In 2001–02, state-reported data 

indicate that 19 percent of Title I 

districts provided Title I-supported 

family literacy services. This 

percentage was virtually unchanged 

from the 18 percent reported for 

2000–01. Four states (California, 

Delaware, Rhode Island, and 

Washington) did not report the 

information in 2000–01. This figure stayed at four states (California, Delaware, Montana, and North 

Dakota) for 2001–02. (See fig. 13 and table 18 on p. 32.)

Extended-Time Instructional Programs

In 2001–02, state-reported data indicate that there were 17,216 Title I-supported extended-time 

instructional programs in operation (two states, Arkansas and Delaware, as well as the District of 

Columbia did not report these data). However, this figure may not be reliable because there are large 

fluctuations from one year to the next in the figures reported by many states. Although the data appear to 

indicate a 4 percent increase in the number of extended-time programs from 2000–01 to 2001–02, it is more 

likely that the reported increase is due to a change in state reporting practices. For instance, Washington did 

not report this information for 2000–01 but reported 368 programs for 2001–02. Similarly, Puerto Rico

reported zero extended-time instructional programs for 2000–01 and 514 for 2001–02. (See table 19 on p.

33.)

Title I TAS Staffing Patterns

Title I staffing data are available for 

less than half of all Title I schools, 

because states were asked to report 

these data only for schools that 

operate targeted assistance programs 

(48 percent of Title I schools). 

Schoolwide programs are not required 

to track Title I dollars to particular 

activities or staff, so Title I staffing 

data are unavailable for these schools. 

However, the staffing data may 

include some district-level staff who 

work with multiple schools.

Teachers accounted for over half 

(53 percent) of reported Title I 

TAS full-time equivalent (FTE) 

staff in 2001–02, up substantially 

from 44 percent in the previous 

year. Teacher aides declined from 

39 percent of staff in 2000–01 to 

34 percent in 2001–02.

Together, teachers and teacher 

aides accounted for 87 percent of 

the reported total of 73,578 Title I 

staff. Other Title I staff include 

administrators (3 percent), support 

staff (8 percent), and other staff 

(2 percent). (See figs. 14 and 15 and 

tables 20 and 21 on pp. 34 and 36.)

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

Notes: 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, ED 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.

In this table, the figures for TAS and SWP are combined, as a small number of states were unable to provide this information 

separately.

In 2000–01, two states (Pennsylvania and Rhode Island) were unable to provide information for this data item.

Notes: The total number of children shown in this table is taken from the by-grade figures reported by the states. In this table, the figures for 

TAS and SWP are combined, as a number of states were unable to provide this information separately. The totals shown here do not 

reflect data from all states. In 2000–01, two states (Rhode Island and West Virginia) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs did not provide 

information for this item. This figure increased to four states (New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island and Virginia), Bureau of Indian 

Affairs, and Puerto Rico for 2001–02.

+ 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 schools (TAS). 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 program (SWP) schools combined. By the 1998–99 reporting year, all states 

indicated that the reported data was for TAS schools only.
