Texas rural students exempt from No Child Left Behind reporting
Thousands of rural Texas students are exempt from federal reporting under No Child Left Behind because the state does not require some public schools to break out results for small groups. The AP analysis notes exemptions allow Texas to avoid reporting separate White, Hispanic, and Black group scores when counts are below 50 and to omit Asian and Native American categories. Texas officials argue 50 is the minimum for privacy and statistical validity while still covering students in overall results. Experts question if the law works as intended for the state’s 530,000 rural students.
