No Child Left Behind--Report Cards



Many states provide district report cards and require districts to create school report cards to report accountability results to parents and the public. Report cards typically include student achievement data and indicators such as dropout rates, per-pupil spending, teacher qualifications and student attendance and graduation.

The purpose of publicly reporting results is to spur improvement and provide comparisons among districts and schools. A recent trend in reporting is placing school and district results on the Web. The innovative, Web-based model developed by Just for the Kids, an Austin, Texas-based nonprofit organization, shows comparisons between every school and the 10-highest achieving schools in the state with similar student demographics.

This issue site provides information about public-reporting approaches and strategies used by states.
