This 1975-76 final evaluation report of the Elementary Secondary Education Act Title I programs, in the Washington, D.C. public schools is divided in two parts. Part one focuses on the program's creation, purposes, goals, objectives, and administration. Part two describes the relationship between school achievement and student characteristics. Part one involves the following areas: a description of the target group, population figures, goals, purposes, objectives, and impact of the program on the exceptional student; a delineation of the recommendations based upon the characteristics of Title I students, types of programs offered, and educational outcomes; an outline of the legislative creation, program responsibilities, types of financial assistance offered, and the unique administrative structure of the D.C public school system.
