Eleven schools in the Humble ISD receive funding under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA),

as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The funding is for resources to help schools with high concentrations of

students from low-income families provide a high-quality education that will enable all children to meet the state's student performance standards. ESEA is built on accountability for results, engagement of parents and families, and an emphasis on doing what works to improve academic achievement based on evidence-based activities, strategies, and interventions (collectively called interventions).
