A project of the National Title I Association, the National Title I Distinguished Schools Program publicly recognized qualifying Title I schools for the outstanding academic achievements of their students. It highlights the efforts of schools across the country making significant improvements for their students.

Title I is the cornerstone of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. It is the largest federally funded precollege education program in the United States and provides funding to school districts across the country to aid in the education of economically disadvantages students.
The National Title I Association is a membership organization made up of the Title I Directors from each of the states and territories, who are charge with managing their state Title I program to ensure compliance with federal regulations and to ensure that all children – especially those living in economically disadvantaged conditions – have the opportunity to receive a high quality education.
The National Title I Association implemented the National Title I Distinguished Schools Program to highlight selected schools that have successfully used their Title I federal funds to improve the education for economically disadvantages students. More information about all National Title I Distinguished Schools is available on the National Title I Association website: http://www.titlei.org.
