Standardized test scores alone should never be used to evaluate students, educators, or schools. ESSA's approach to accountability reflects a true political compromise: a reduced federal role combined with a requirement that states establish and hold schools accountable for performance goals for each student subgroup. Based on accountability system results, states must identify the lowest performing schools and those with underperforming student subgroups. Districts are then required to develop "evidence-based" interventions, with the input of teachers and school staff. If school performance continues to lag after district interventions, states are required to take more significant improvement action—but, unlike NCLB's prescriptive federal approach, states and districts will now determine their own interventions.
