Book Description
The volume is based on the groundbreaking American Human Development Index, which provides a single measure of well-being for all Americans, broken down by state and congressional district, as well as by race, gender, and ethnicity. The Index rankings of the 50 states and 435 congressional districts reveal huge disparities in the health, education, and standard of living of different groups.

Book Description
To provide information for federal deliberations on the reauthorization of more than 50 elementary and secondary education programs, this report describes efforts by states to improve schools, examines trends and conditions in primary and secondary education, and analyzes options for changing the federal role in education. Following an overview of education and the federal government, chapter 1 of the report describes the purposes of federal support for educational programs and discusses the educational reform movement that began in the early 1980s. Chapter 2 profiles elementary and secondary education nationwide, focusing on trends in educational outcomes, school resources, and student and family characteristics, while chapter 3 addresses issues of the relative priority that should be given to equity and excellence in education, and the level of control the government should exercise over education. Chapter 4 describes options for reducing the federal role in education through the use of block grants that define funding purposes but do not specify states' implementation procedures, and chapter 5 discusses options for refining the current federal role through fully funding current programs, eliminating programs not directed to special populations, and focusing on early education. Finally, chapter 6 reviews approaches to promoting educational reform, including national curriculum and national assessment efforts, school-based reform, and modification of key elements of the educational system as a whole.
