The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 helps to ensure that all children receive a high-quality education and holds schools responsible for making sure that all children are learning. The information below is consistent with this important law.

Benefits of No Child Left Behind for Parents and Children No Child Left Behind (NCLB) requires that parents receive certain information about their child’s education—for example, the child’s progress in reading, math, and science, as well as the overall performance of the child’s school on state tests in these subjects. NCLB gives funding for early childhood learning; allows for more spending on each student, especially disadvantaged students; and, in some cases, provides the chance for children to attend better schools regardless of where they live. NCLB also requires that every class of “core” subjects have a highly qualified teacher and encourages schools to teach based on ideas and methods that have been scientifically shown to work.
