The United States can do better at turning around low-performing schools. High-performing systems improve their schools not by having intervention teams descend in from a great height but by building collective responsibility where strong schools assist weaker neighbors, where resources are disbursed from the district or the state department to schools to make this assistance possible, and where these collaborative efforts run across district boundaries.
