Two words: growth models.

NCLB naively equated student performance with school performance. You have to separate the part of student achievement that was affected by teachers and students in the most recent year from all the other stuff that teachers and schools can't control. Using growth instead of proficiency rates would be a huge improvement. You can still report proficiency rates and do it by subgroup, but for accountability of adults you need the growth measure.
