Check the School District's Report Card for Public Schools
No Child Left Behind requires school districts that receive federal funds to provide a report card on how its schools and the school district are doing. For individual schools, the report card will include whether the school has been identified for school improvement and how its students performed on state tests compared to other students in the school district and the state.
For the district, the report includes the combined test scores of the students at all the district's schools.
Public school report cards should include:
Students' scores on state tests, broken out by student subgroups;
How many students performed at the "basic," "proficient," and "advanced" levels on the tests;
Graduation rates;
Numbers and names of schools that need to improve in the district;
Qualifications of teachers; and
Percentage of students who were not tested.
