No Child Left Behind

What is the No Child Left Behind Act?

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 was signed into law to improve student achievement.
Focusing on improving schools, teacher quality and parent choice, this act helps all children in the United States get a good education.

No Child Left Behind holds schools accountable for results regardless of race, income, or language barriers.

School Report Cards, Public School Choice, and Supplemental Educational Services were created as a part of this law to provide learning accountability.

This law provides parents with the tools to make informed decisions on their child’s behalf.  Empower yourself to learn the law.
