The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001 focused on accountability, flexibility, and choice, so that no child is left behind. It emphasized improving the performance of America’s primary and secondary schools, particularly by increasing the standards of accountability for states, school districts, and schools, as well as providing parents more flexibility in choosing which schools their children will attend. A significant aspect of NCLB was its emphasis on closing the achievement gap between schools and ensuring that all students, including those who are disadvantaged, achieve academic proficiency.
