Abstract: This case study explored the factors affecting parental thinking and decision making processes about school choice and supplemental educational services under No Child Left Behind (NCLB, 2002) in the largest Title I urban elementary school in the largest school district in a southeastern state, and which is currently identified by NCLB as a persistently “low-performing” school. This study also examined parents’ understanding of the term “low-performing” school. The following questions were used to guide this qualitative case study: What factors influence parents’ perspectives and decision making processes regarding school choice as provided under No Child Left Behind (2002)? What factors influence parents’ perspectives and decision making processes regarding supplemental education services under NCLB (2002), and, What are parents’ perspectives of the term low-performing school?
