Title 1 Statement
Courtney Elementary School is a Title I school. We receive federal Title 1 money to help provide instruction that meets the needs of all students. Because our school receives federal funds, we are held accountable by the No Child Left Behind laws. No Child Left Behind requires that our students meet specific goals to show progress. This is determined by meeting Annual Measurable Objectives that are calculated by our students’ End-of-grade scores. As the parent of a child served in a Title I school, you have the right to be involved in your child’s education. We encourage you to become an active participant.
