In January 2002, under President George W. Bush, Congress passed the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). This law states that by 2014, all students in Grades 2-8 and high school will score proficient or advanced in the annual standardizedassessments for reading/language arts (RLA) and mathematics. NCLB clearly identified the percentage ofstudents who are to score each year at the proficient and/or advanced levels, in both subject areas, by setting annual measurable objectives (see Table 1).This model showed a percent increment that began in the 2001-2002 school yearand will continue until the 2013-2014 school year. These percentages were different for RLA and mathematics, but the expectation is the same for both subject areas: All students will score proficient or advanced by 2014.
