Number of Schools Labeled "Failing" By No Child Left Behind: ZERO
Not a single school in the country will be labeled "failing" by the No Child Left Behind law. Repeat: Not a single school in the country will be labeled "failing" by the No Child Left Behind law.
States set their own standards and measures of progress. Through assessments, areas in which schools need to improve are identified (i.e., if reading scores do not reach the state's standard, the school knows it needs to improve its reading program).
Most important of all, when a school identifies an area it needs to improve, the law provides extra resources to schools and new options for parents to help get the job done.
