The No Child Left Behind Act requires schools to meet goals for attendance, graduation and passing rates on state tests two years in a row.

Elementary schools that didn't meet their goals suffer sanctions if they receive federal money for poor students.

Some of the consequences are that schools must offer transportation to a better-performing school. If there is no better-performing school where kids can be transported, the school must offer tutoring.

For some schools that have missed goals for longer, schools must institute a new curriculum, decrease school management authority, appoint an outside expert, extend the school day, replace key staff or reorganize the administration of the building.

Schools that have to offer any of the above services will notify parents.

Those schools that didn't meet goals both years are:
