From USED Flexibility Guidance: PriorityFocusReward From USED Flexibility Guidance: A “focus school” is a Title I school in the State that, based on the most recent data available, is contributing to the achievement gap in the State. A “priority school” is a Title I or Title I- eligible school that, based on the most recent data available, has been identified as among the lowest- performing schools in the State. A “reward school” is a Title I school that, based on the most recent data available, is a highest-performing school or a high- progress school. (Must make AYP for all subgroups and cannot have persistent achievement gaps) Priority, Focus, & Reward USED Definitions 28Wednesday, February 2, 2012
