Abstract
Requirements for public school accountability have increased dramatically in the decade since the publication of the A Nation at Risk report. Schools have risen to the demands of accountability through a multitude of methods such as instituting and institutionalizing standardized tests; and tracking statistics of attendance, drop-outs, and credits earned; systematically informing and educating the public in understanding measures of student achievement. In spite of, or perhaps related to, increasing communication about education to the public, the demand for school reform has increased in urgency in recent years. Accountability does not guarantee approval.
