The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) program is a federal law that governs elementary and secondary education and is funded by Federal Title I. Under the NCLB, school boards must ensure that their high poverty schools meet the educational needs of low-achieving students. The goal is to close the achievement gap between the high and low-performing students.

San Diego Schools are committed to delivering strong standards-based education with programs that are designed to improve student achievement in the gateway skills of reading, writing and mathematics. Along with this commitment, they have embraced the NCLB program, which benefits the San Diego schools and its students as follows:

• San Diego schools must provide greater accountability for results, which means an even better school district with higher scholastic achievement from its students;
• The district gains greater flexibility for spending federal money, allowing them to decide where the money best serves to improve student achievement;
• Parents have more options over their children, allowing them to choose a non-participating school over a NCLB school; and
• San Diego schools gain an increased emphasis on teaching methods that have been proven to work.  Read more...

This challenge is compounded by the gap black and Hispanic children face in reaching similar achievement goals.  Read more...
