All African American, Hispanic, White, economically disadvantaged, special education, and limited English proficient (LEP) students must meet the same performance and participation standards. Under the auspices of this evaluation, all students must be tested, and all results must be included in each district’s AYP calculation. All public school districts are evaluated annually for adequate yearly progress (AYP). This study investigates the historical and philosophical components of Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon as a model of surveillance to identify similarities between panopticism and the rubric of collecting student data required by NCLB. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB Public Law 107-110) reauthorizes and expands the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to require large amounts of student data for the purpose of academic surveillance.
