Mast TIns study examines the effects on achievement of the largest federal program of financial aid to schools, Title I of the Elemetary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. That legislation was intended to improve the academic perfornance of children in low--income cschools who have generally failed to attain achievement levels comparable to those in igherincome schools. The program was recently reautho- rized as the No Child Left Behind Act. in this book the authors summarize the evolution of policy under Title1 , review previous evaluations of its effects on achieve-inent, and present new evidence based on national data on math arid reading test scores to assess recent experience under the program. The authors conclude that Title I has failed to produce arty significant increase in test scores or to narrow achieverment gaps between the scores of low- and high-income students and schools. The AEl Evaluative Studies series aims to promote greater under- standing atnd continuing review of inajor activities of the federal gov- ernment. Each study focuses on a government program or policy in operation by exaining its purposes, adminitrttion, costs, arid effectiveness and then recommends practical reforms for improved performance.
