On December 10, 2015, President Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), reauthorizing the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and replacing the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), the 2001 reauthorization of ESEA. The primary purpose of ESSA is to make sure public schools provide a quality education for all kids and  account for student achievement, including disadvantaged students’ achievement. ESSA provides support to schools with groups of traditionally underserved students who consistently demonstrate low performance. ESSA also provides support to high schools with low graduation rates. The law requires data on student achievement and graduation rates to be reported as well as action in response to that data.
