The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was first passed in 1965 and was the primary piece of federal legislation aimed at improving educational opportunities for students from low-income families and addressing achievement gaps. It has been reauthorized several times, most recently in 2015 as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and Race to the Top were both federal education initiatives, but neither was as significant or long-lasting as the ESEA/ESSA. The School Deficit Awareness Act is not a real piece of legislation.
