The Dedham Public Schools receives Title I grant funding from the federal and state government to support supplemental reading and math services for qualifying students in eligible schools. School eligibility for Title I funding is determined by the number of economically disadvantaged students residing in a schools attendance area. At present the Avery and Riverdale qualify for and are supported by funding through Title I. 

Title I funding comes with a number of requirements that include parent communication. Annually we must provide all parents and families attending Title I schools with our school's accountability report cards as well as a letter detailing parent's right to know about specific school based information.
