December 3rd, 2015: The National Title I Association is pleased to announce that Lake Forest Elementary Charter School from New Orleans, Louisiana has been named a National Title I Distinguished School by the Louisiana State Department of Education. Lake Forest Elementary Charter School is one of up to 100  schools throughout the country that is being nationally recognized for exceptional student achievement in 2015.
A project of the National Title I Association, the National Title I Distinguished Schools Program publicly recognizes 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. The program has been in place since 1996, showcasing the success of hundreds of schools in one of two categories:
•                Category 1: Exceptional student performance for two consecutive years
•                Category 2: Closing the achievement gap between student groups
 
Title I is the cornerstone of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. It is the largest federally funded pre-college education program in the United States and provides funding to school districts across the country to aid in the education of economically disadvantaged 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 charged 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 disadvantaged students. More information about all National Title I Distinguished Schools is available on the National Title I Association website: www.titlei.org
