Why do you say that? Montgomery Village MS has a significantly higher proportion of poor kids, and even it's not a Title I middle school. I don't think that there are any Title I middle schools in MCPS. |
I would sell my house there yesterday but I care about stuff like that. You go ahead and lose you shirt on principle

There are not any Title I middle schools currently, but there are a small number that are being monitored. If any DO go Title I, it would probably be MVMS, Neelsville, or White Oak. Definitely not Parkland, or any school with a magnet component. |

Title 1 is a Federal designation when over 50% of the school population gets free or reduced school lunches.
I just checked the title 1 list and Parkland listed is there: https://www.tcli.ed.gov/CBSWebApp/servlet/TCLIStateServlet |

| We would have considered putting in for the Parkland lottery, but the county provides no transportation. No way to make that distance work! |

That’s not how Title I schools work, and the link doesn’t function. MCPS receives funding for a certain number of Title I schools each year and the funds are allocated from highest percentage. I teach at a non-Title I school that is 63% FARMs. These are the Title I schools in MCPS: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/dtecps/title1/schools.aspx Parkland is 50% MVMS is 66.8% Neelsville is 59.8% White Oak is 60% Loiederman is 58% Argyle is 54% None of these schools receive Title I funds. |

| School systems receive more federal funds for title one schools. That money to support more admin and support teachers at title 1 schools. Title 1 is a federal designation. You can have elementary middle and high schools on the list. This is useful for teachers to know so that they can have students loans cancelled. |

Search for Maryland. You will find a whole bunch of MCPS ES, MS, and HS on there. |

That is a website with a directory of schools that serve "a high concentration of low-income students" but this does not equal Title I. They don't state what concentration % they use, but it can't be that high because it includes schools like Blake and Earle B. Wood that only have 30% or so FARMS. |
