Summary:

In spite of the many education reforms that took place during the 1980s, most Americans see the nation's public elementary and secondary schools as average, at best. Few of the nation's students can successfully handle complex reasoning and problem solving, and U.S. student achievement in mathematics and science lags student test scores in other industrial nations. A growing number of educators and policymakers now believe that the best chance to improve student learning involves changing the education system as a whole. Attention is being given to improving student outcomes by determining what students should know and be able to do, and ensuring that all the key components of the educational system are directed to achieving those outcomes. This report describes how certain school districts across the country have undertaken systemwide reform efforts. In particular, GAO provides information on the relationship of federal education efforts to the experiences of the districts.
