After Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans’ public schools experienced an unprecedented reform effort that took test-based and market-based accountability to the extreme (attendance zones eliminated, all teachers were fired, etc.). Doug Harris, of Tulane University offers insights into the intended and unintended effects, how this radical reform affected students’ test scores, graduation rates, and college outcomes, and more?
