OPINION
The federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) aims to improve the performance of U.S. primary and secondary schools by requiring states to adopt comprehensive accountability systems for identifying and improving underperforming schools. Its overarching goal is to bring U.S. students to math and reading proficiency by 2014. Reauthorization of the law is pending in Congress, with members of both parties asking questions about its cost and accomplishments to date.
