One criteria for achieving an NCLB pass rate is the percentage of children taking the tests. If not enough children in every sub-category take the tests, then the school is deemed to be "not making adequate yearly progress". Do that for a couple of years in a row, and students are given the opportunity to transfer to another school at taxpayer expense. (Vouchers, anyone?) Of course, that was the whole rationale behind NCLB in the first place.
