2014-2015 Title I Distinguished Schools
Each year, the Division of Federal Programs honors the top performing Title I schools in Pennsylvania.
This year, we will be using the approved ESEA Flexibility Waiver designation of Reward High
Achievement and Reward High Progress. Reward; High Achievement schools are the highest 5% of Title I
schools based on aggregate math and reading PSSA or Keystone scores and met all Annual Measurable
Objectives (AMOs). Reward: High Progress schools are the highest 5% Title I schools based on aggregate
progress in closing the achievement gap in Reading and Mathematics for PSSA and/or Algebra
I/Literature for Keystone Exams combined for the All Student group and the Historically
Underperforming Student group. We have selected 95 Title I schools to be named Distinguished Schools
based on that criterion.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education, Division of Federal Programs, would like to honor all schools
selected at the 2015 Title I Improving Schools’ Performance Conference as a 2015 Distinguished Title I
School. All Distinguished Schools will be honored at the PA Title I Improving Schools Performance
Conference during the Monday luncheon on January 26, 2015 and will be highlighted within the
conference program. Cole Manor Elementary School in the Norristown Area School District and Cochran
Primary School in the Williamsport Area School District have been chosen as Pennsylvania's National
Title I Distinguished Schools. National Title I Distinguished Schools will be honored at the National Title I
Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah in February 2015.
