Book excerpt: Scholars from history, economics, political science, and psychology describe the present state of school accountability, how it evolved, how it succeeded and failed, and how it can be improved.

Case studies of three states with strong school systems compare how accountability works in practice. Evers is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution.
