The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides each state with the flexibility to designate and serve schools in need of support. The process of identifying schools for support - called "Annual Meaningful Differentiation" by the federal statute - results in three federally prescribed designations:
Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) - Schools facing the most significant challenges in academic achievement, student growth, and other areas
Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (A-TSI) - Schools in which performance by one or more student groups is at or below the level of the CSI schools
Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) - Schools in which performance by one or more student groups is at or below state-established standards.
