Understanding these measures
iPlain-English notes on how to read these figures.Free or reduced lunch. Eligibility is the standard federal proxy for student poverty. It is a context measure, not a judgement.
Title I. Federal funding for schools with many students from low-income families. Schools with 40% or more eligible students can run schoolwide programmes.
Charter, magnet or district school. Charter schools are publicly funded but independently run; magnet schools draw students across zones for a theme; district schools serve their local zone.
