[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're new to public...what does this mean? Is it horrible?[/quote] What it means is that 1/3 of the students qualify for the Free and Reduced Meals program. When the rate is 40% or higher, the school qualifies for title I funds - additional money from the federal government to support learning. People sometimes use it as an indicator for other things...... An indicator of how the school is teaching all students is to look at PARCC scores and to see how children who are FARMs score on the exam vs the rest of the peer group.[/quote]
