North Carolina
National Title I Distinguished School Program

The National Title I Distinguished Schools program recognizes exemplary Title I schools that hold students to high standards and demonstrate exemplary school effectiveness in:

  • teaching and learning based on the approved state curriculum,
  • use of research-based instructional strategies,
  • opportunities provided for all students to achieve,
  • established partnerships with parents, families, and the community,
  • implementation of sustained research-based professional development, and
  • innovation and modeling for other schools.

Since 1996, North Carolina has recognized Distinguished Title I Schools through this program. More information and resources about the selection process and recognized schools are on the following site hosted by the National Association of ESEA State Program Administrators.

Each year two North Carolina schools are recognized at the national level. Selected winning North Carolina Title I Distinguished Schools are recognized in one of two categories. Schools in the Sustained High-Performance Category are recognized for showing a high (at least 80 percent) level of student proficiency in reading and mathematics and making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for the most recent two years.
Schools in the Sustained High Growth Category are recognized for making significant progress in closing the achievement gap between student groups.
