Standardized testing is how the underfunded No Child Left Behind mandate zeros in on accountability. For the middle school, testing is a way of life.

For example, the Ohio Department of Education mandates state achievement tests to be given each year in grades six, seven and eight. Grade six students are tested in math and reading, grade seven students are tested in reading, math and writing, and grade eight students are tested in reading, math, science and social studies.
