Please clarify if you can.

A Title One school does not necessarily mean the school serves a majority of students that are of low to moderate income, Correct?

A school can be designated Title One for reasons such as lack of performance of students, low attendance rates, low graduation or promotion rates, etc., none which I have listed have to do with the income of the student body.

When determining if we will receive CRA credit for an activity at a school should I always use the percent of students that are eligible for free or reduced meals and not if the school is designated Title One?

Yes, the school lunch is a good number to use. In Illinois the state board of education create a scorecard for each school. In that scorecard they will show the demographics of the school, and it will show the income concentrations. That is the number I have used.
