Fact Sheet: Six Years of Student Achievement Under No Child Left Behind, January 7, 2008

  • “The No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law in January 2002 and reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Under this legislation, the Commissioner of Education Statistics is to conduct national and state NAEP assessments at least every two years in reading and mathematics at grades 4 and 8. These assessments must be conducted in the same year. In addition, national assessments in reading and mathematics in grade 12 are to be conducted at regularly scheduled intervals.” See The Nation’s Report Card
  • New York Times: Court Revives Lawsuit Against No Child Left Behind Law: “A federal appeals court on Monday revived a legal challenge to the federal No Child Left Behind education law, saying that school districts have been justified in complaining that the law required them to pay for testing and other programs without providing sufficient federal money.”
