What is ESSA?

  • The  (ESSA) is the federal K–12 education law. ESSA was signed into law in 2015, replaced No Child Left Behind, and reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). ESEA was signed into law in 1965 by President Lyndon Baines Johnson. ESSA requires every state to measure performance in reading, math, and science. Every school must inform parents about their standards and their results. 

    ESSA requires every state to provide parents with important information on test performance in reading, math, and science. The report cards must also provide data on graduation rates, suspensions, absenteeism, teacher qualifications, and many other areas. Texas parents may find this information on  and in data reports on the  pages.
