Group Characteristics
Harlem Middle School is a Title I school. Over 56% of our student body is on free and
reduced lunch, which is the indicator for a Title I school. Even though Harlem is located in a
very affluent county, the majority of our community is either at or slightly below the poverty
level. Of the total number of students that will participate in the unit, 81% are economically
disadvantaged. All students are age appropriate for 6th grade (ages 11-12), with 18% having
failed or been retained at least once. All students speak fluent English, including the 19% of
Hispanic students.
