Question:

Does any part of the No Child Left Behind Act deal with helping students make the transition from eighth grade to ninth grade?

The emphasis on assessing students annually in grades 3 to 8 and monitoring their progress, however, is aimed at better preparing youngsters for high school. That preparation should make students' transition easier and their chances of success in high school greater.
