Head Start: Further Development Could Allow Results of New Test to Be Used for Decision Making
In September 2003, the Head Start Bureau, in the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), implemented the National Reporting System (NRS),
the first nationwide skills test of over 400,000 4- and
5-year-old children. The NRS is intended to provide information
on how well Head Start grantees are helping children progress.
Given the importance of the NRS, this report examines: what
information the NRS is designed to provide; how the Head Start
Bureau has responded to concerns raised by grantees and experts
during the first year of implementation; and whether the NRS
provides the Head Start Bureau with quality information.
