In Left Behind, a team of education scholars led by Edward P St
John argues that American cities have been engaged for the past
three decades in a radical-but failing-effort to transform general
and vocational high schools into college preparatory institutions.
By examining the educational reforms in four urban charter schools
across the United States and four public high schools in New York
City, Left Behind reveals how educators contend with the challenge
of developing new courses while providing social support for
students to build college-going cultures. The research shows that
district schools struggle to comply with standards that leave
little room to develop advanced thematic curricula and that charter
schools have not succeeded in substantially raising student test
scores. Many students who start in rigorous charter schools
transfer back to public schools while both public and charter
schools struggle to prepare their students for college-level work.
Left Behind provides crucial insights into the troubling trajectory
of public policy while offering teachers and administrators
effective strategies for overcoming barriers.
