Abstract | After years of contesting that No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was broken and that it forced them to identify too many schools, or the wrong schools, for improvement, over forty states have been granted waivers from the U.S. Department of Education. These waivers give them the flexibility to design new accountability and improvement schemes rather than abide by federal rules. Under waiver accountability, however, the "standard" is often based on the number of schools that must be identified, rather than their level of performance. States must intervene in at least 15 percent of their Title I schools (those schools serving predominantly low-income students) by naming them as priority or focus schools. Using school improvement data from over 20,000 schools in 16 states, this report shows how the 15 percent framework, and states' choices within it, changed the identification of schools for improvement during the transition from NCLB to waivers.
