[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for these replies. What is a focus school? [/quote] A Focus school has a certain number or percentage of students who qualify for Free and Reduced Meals. They are allocated extra funding to reduce class sizes in K-2. They are different from Title I schools, which have an even higher number of students who qualify for FARMs and get federal funds. Our neighborhood school gets Focus funds, and the FARMs rate is 45%. Title I fluctuates year to year, but is generally 70% or above.[/quote]
