Hard Times At Douglass High: A No Child Left Behind Report Card (2008)

  
Format:  
 
 
The challenges faced by America's inner-city schools in meeting the mandates of the No Child Left Behind Act are illuminated by this portrait of a year in the life of Frederick Douglass High, the Baltimore public school that counts Thurgood Marshall amongst its alumni and faced state takeover if grades didn't reach minimum standards. Sobering questions about the law's true impact are raised in this effort from documentarians Alan and Susan Raymond. 133 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
