1Prekindergarten students are counted as students 3-5 years old.
2Students assigned to a class or program that does not have standard grade designations.
NOTE: This table excludes children from birth to age 2 who participated in Title I, Part A programs; children from birth to age 2 represented less than 1 percent of total students participating in Title I programs. Caution should be used when comparing 2019-20 and 2020-21 state estimates to those of other years due to the impact that the coronavirus pandemic had on reporting Title I programs. Title I, Part A grant allocations to state education agencies (SEAs) and local education agencies (LEAs) are based primarily on annually updated LEA poverty estimates produced by the U.S. Census Bureau, and within-LEA allocations to schools are based on school poverty rates. The data report participation in Title I, Part A programs and may not match eligibility for Title I, Part A due to rules governing within-LEA allocations and state and district flexibility for allocating Title I, Part A funds. These rules also mean that Title I per-pupil allocations for schools vary across schools within LEAs, across LEAs within a state, and across states.
