High Achieving Students in the Age of Accountability

There has been a great deal of discussion lately about the impact of educational accountability programs on high-achieving students. Since the focus of these programs is directed toward low performing students, educators are concerned about the negative effects accountability programs may have on students who show exceptional academic promise.

Chester Finn wrote an interesting piece on this topic in National Review.

AEI published a provocative article by Charles Murray related to this issue entitled "Educational Romanticism."
