From the Capital to the Classroom: Year 4 of the No Child Left Behind Act
by Center on Education Policy (CEP), March 2006.
The most comprehensive national study on the impact of the No Child Left Behind Act indicates that urban districts are twice as likely to have at least one school identified as “in need of improvement” under the law as non-urban districts. The report also shows that states and school districts are providing additional help to such schools to improve student achievement, but many school leaders are concerned that federal resources may not be enough to address significant staffing and funding challenges created by the law.
The report, From the Capital to the Classroom: Year 4 of the No Child Left Behind Act, is the most comprehensive review of the law to date and the first to examine all aspects of its implementation at the federal, state, and local levels. The report was conducted by the independent, nonpartisan Center on Education Policy (CEP), and is the second in a series of reports that will be issued annually through 2007.
