In Need of Improvement: Revising NCLB's School Choice Provision

This report by Erin Dillon of Education Sector, is an interesting analysis of how the Choice provision in NCLB is missing the mark when it comes to giving students the options to transfer schools. The report goes into depth of what can be done in order to reach the lowest-achieving students, giving the most disadvanataged the options first.

"By targeting choice to the lowest-performing schools and students, offering incentives to encourage higher-performing schools to accept transferring students, and providing additional supports to students in their first years at a new school, we may begin to see more robust results from school choice under NCLB."
