Hillwood Title I Program

What is Title I?

Title 1 provides assistance for students who must accelerate their progress to perform at or near grade level. The Title I program is designed to provide students with extra help in an effort to bring their academic skills to the high, challenging academic standard needed to be successful in school. Title I resources are directed toward students who need them the most.

What is the Goal of Title I?

The goal of Title I is to help every child get a high quality education. The goal of Hillwood’s Title I Program is to provide eligible students with the basic reading and math skills that they need to meet MNPS and State performance Standards (Targeted Assistance Program).

• Children to do better in School.
