Over five million children in the US are served by Title I schools. Following the implementation of the Improving America's Schools Act (IASA) in 1994, Title I has sought to assist schools in helping children to gain the knowledge they need for academic success.

As one of the foremost journals specifically aimed at the improvement of the educational experience of at-risk students, JESPAR assists researchers, policy makers, and practioners in identifying what programs and policies work in our schools today.
