Questions to ask about NCLB reports - Public reporting of school, district, and state data is one of the cornerstones of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Armed with data about the achievement of all students relative to state standards, educators, parents, advocates, and policymakers can identify successes as well as areas in need of improvement in their schools. They can then use this information to engage in the hard work of raising achievement for all and closing gaps between groups. This process, of course, is dependent on the availability, accessibility, and accuracy of public data, Education Trust.
