Title I

  • Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School (SRMHS) is a Title I School. Please continue reading to find out more about what this means for our students and their families.


What does it mean to be a Title I School?

  • The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is the nation's main educational law for all public schools. The law holds schools accountable for how students learn and achieve. ESSA aims to ensure that all students, including students with disabilities, English learners, and other historically-underserved groups, are ready for colleges and careers upon graduation from high school. Under ESSA, schools continue to have the flexibility to teach students in different ways, while maintaining a high bar to assess students against state-developed college-and career-ready standards.

    Title I, one component of ESSA, provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers and/or percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging academic standards. The Title I funds can be used for a variety of services and resources for participating schools, which may include additional teachers and support staff, extra time for instruction, a variety of teaching materials, smaller class sizes, Instructional Coaches and professional learning for staff, and more.


Family/School Compact

  • What is a Family/School Compact?

    A family/school compact is a reflection of our shared responsibility as a school community to ensure students receive equitable access to support and resources to reach their full potential.

    Families, students, and staff are committed to working together, so the family/school compact is a working document that will be posted on the SRMHS website. Families are encouraged to make suggestions throughout the school year. The compact will be shared and reviewed yearly, based on feedback and collaboration.

    Please access our  Family/School Compact here.
