Meredith Coffey; Adam Tyner – Thomas B. Fordham Institute, 2023

Staff, Jeremy; Schulenberg, John E.; Bachman, Jerald G. – Sociology of Education, 2010

No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the federal school-accountability law, is widely held to have accomplished one good thing: require states to publish test-score results in math and reading for each school in grades 3 through 8 and again in grade 10.
