Schools in Connecticut Fail To Pass Program

According to Courant.com, Connecticut school officials say that out of all the state's public schools, 40% of the schools failed to achieve the standards this year for the federal program, No Child Left Behind Law. The state Department of Education says that 406 out of 987 schools didn't make their yearly progress under the federal law. Some schools on the list of failing standards on the No Child Left Behind Law are: Glastonbury High School, Greenwich High School, and West Hartford's Hall High School. Local officials say that the schools are having a harder time meeting the standards because of strict requirements for some groups, which includes students who have a disability and students who are learning to speak English.
