Which act called for accountability for all students' academic performance, including those with disabilities?

• A. Education for All Handicapped Children Act
• B. IDEA
• C. No Child Left Behind Act
• D. Americans with Disabilities Act

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is accountability for every student’s academic performance, including those with disabilities. No Child Left Behind Act strengthened school accountability by requiring annual testing in reading and math and by reporting results for subgroups such as students with disabilities, ensuring schools demonstrate progress for all learners. In contrast, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (and its later reauthorization as IDEA) focuses on guaranteeing services, accommodations, and rights for individual students with disabilities rather than broad, nation-wide accountability of school performance. The Americans with Disabilities Act protects civil rights and access but does not set academic accountability standards for schools. So the act described is the one that established this broad accountability framework for all students.
