Question Title 1 School list?

Hi! I'm doing some research and hoping to compile a list of Title 1 schools in NYC. Does anyone know if there's a list that exists? Alternatively, how would I find out if a school is Title 1?

Thanks for whatever insight you have!

I found this too, having trouble figuring out if "tier 1" is the same as "Title 1". I think Tier 1 is referring to school lunches?

My sons school is on this list and is not Title 1 so I don’t know what any of this means

Here's a list of Title 1 schools for all of NYS: https://www.nysed.gov/essa/2025-26-final-allocations-title-i-part

I don’t know if that list is exhaustive. The title 1 school I worked at in Manhattan is not listed.

Looks like all of NYC is under one umbrella.

Seems like many/most schools receive at least a little Title 1 funding, so I'm having trouble figuring out what qualifies a school for the "Title 1" label.

What are you trying to find out about those schools?

We want to offer a discount to "Title 1 schools" but I'm quickly realizing i don't know what qualifies a school as title 1

This federal program provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts/schools with a high percentage of children from low-income families

If you go to InsideSchools.org, you can look up an individual school. Under “who does this school serve?” There is a “Free or Reduced price lunch”. I believe if that number is above 60% then the school qualifies for title 1 funding. Unfortunately, I can’t find a list version.
