As part of a national assessment of Title I, the National Longitudinal Survey of Schools surveyed principals and teachers to examine whether schools were using standards-based reforms. This report presents findings on schools serving migrant students, based on the first year of data collection--1998-99. Most Title I schools serving medium/high numbers of migrant students were both high-poverty and high-minority schools. Compared to Title I schools with no migrant students, Title I schools serving migrant students were more likely to operate schoolwide programs, offer before- and after-school programs, coordinate federal funds with other funds, and have quantifiable goals for student progress. However, in Title I schools serving migrant students, educators had lower expectations for student performance and were more likely to use alternate standards for limited-English proficient students, and fewer seniors took advanced mathematics courses. Although most migrant students participated in regular state or district assessments, few schools received results disaggregated by migrant status.
