This title discusses the role of high schools, now the key institution in the schooling process. For low-income young people these can be "make or break" years. Students who excel have the chance to continue on to elite universities which increases their chances of future financial security.
"Standard-based accountability" has become a consistent buzzword emanating from the mouths of hopeful politicians-liberal and conservative-for almost twenty years. But does accountability work? The New Accountability explores the current wave of assessment-based school accountability reforms, which combine two traditions in American education-public accountability and student testing.
