No Child Left Behind

The "No Child Left Behind" law requires states to give students in grades 3-8 an annual test in reading and math. In 10 years, all students are supposed to test as proficient. Test scores at individual schools must improve for all students and for minorities, low-income students and other subgroups. If a school receiving federal Title I funding misses the target two years in a row, students must be offered a choice of other public schools to attend. If a school fails to improve three years in a row, students must be offered vouchers good for extra help, including private tutoring. Teachers in core content areas must be "highly qualified," certified and knowledgeable about the subject matter taught. The law funds "research-based" reading programs for elementary students.
