Every Student Succeeds Act

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is a U.S. law that gives states more control over how they improve schools and help students succeed. It focuses on supporting all students, especially those who need extra help, like low-income students or those with disabilities. Instead of just test scores, it looks at things like school climate and student engagement. In short, it’s about giving states flexibility to create better, fairer education systems for every child.
