This ERS report, which spotlights research on successful school districts, provides districts with a road map to reach their destination of improved student achievement. This book presents the findings of four studies highlighting school districts -- most high poverty and at risk -- that have achieved academic progress. As the authors attest, "school districts can have a profound and positive impact on school improvement efforts". For improvement efforts to work, district-level leadership and support are critical, according to the report. The four studies focus on the key characteristics of successful district-level programs. The districts profiled in the report prove student success is indeed an achievable goal. In the wake of NCLB, this is a much-needed piece of good news for many districts that may be found to be "low-performing".
