Abstract:	The standards and accountability movement in education has undeniably transformed schooling throughout the United States. Even before President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act into law in January 2002, mandating annual public school testing in English and math for grades 3-8 and once in high school, most states had already instituted their own accountability systems of state standards linked to state exams. It is widely assumed that if students pass state tests that are aligned with state standards, their school is doing a good job of educating them, and if they pass the state's exit exam, they are ready to face the challenges of college. In this article, the author questions those assumptions and presents an alternative way of judging the quality of a student's high school education. (Contains 18 endnotes.)
