Abstract	Because eligibility for Title I funding is dependent on the financial needs of schools' populations, many Title I schools face significant barriers to student achievement. Decades of research have shown that poverty has a strong negative impact on student academic performance (Herbers et al., 2012), and Title I schools frequently serve students living at and below the poverty line. Despite these challenges, 148 Title I schools in the state of Texas received both the High Performing and High Progress distinctions in the 2013-14 school year. These thriving campuses, or Reward Schools, are the focus of this study. The purpose of this report is to share the best practices from seven Reward Schools that participated in the 2015-16 case studies project. The underlying framework for the Reward Schools Case Studies Project is based on the Texas Education Agency's (TEA's) theory of action for turning around low-performing schools: Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS). TAIS aligns with the U.S. Department of Education's school turnaround principles through seven critical success factors (CSFs): (1) Academic Performance; (2) Use of Quality Data to Drive Instruction; (3) Leadership Effectiveness; (4) Increased Learning Time; (5) Family and Community Engagement; (6) School Climate; and (7) Teacher Quality.
