Belvedere, Lorton Station named distinguished Title I schools

Belvedere Elementary in Falls Church and Lorton Station Elementary in Lorton have both been recognized for raising achievement levels for economically disadvantaged students.

The state Board of Education named the schools Title I Distinguished Schools in recognition of their performance on the state assessments in the past two school years. Schools are identified as Title I when at least 40 percent of their students come from low-income families.

Belvedere and Lorton Station were among 57 Title I schools across the state that maintained full state and federal accreditation under the SOL assessment system for two straight years and also achieved reading and math pass rates of 60 percent or higher.

“Teachers in these Title I schools challenge their students every day to meet the same expectations we have for students in more affluent communities,” state Superintendent Patricia I. Wright said in a statement. “They believe in their students and reject the idea that family incomes predetermine educational outcomes.”

Distinguished and Title 1; Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
