Because of No Child Left Behind, suburban schools that do a decent job educating affluent children may earn low rankings if they fail to educate black, Hispanic, low-income or disabled students. That's the point of the law.
Is that the point of the law?

I acknowledge that I've paid little attention to this law. I thought it was about improving the education of our kids by setting standards so that schools that are not doing a good job could be improved and/or kids could get out of them into a school that is more effective. Is the point of the law really to improve the education of the disadvantaged even at the expense of the majority? That sounds way too lefty to be true. Perhaps it's an unintended consequence but surely not the purpose.
