They decided that "every subject which is taught at all in a secondary school should be taught in the same way and to the same extent to every pupil so long as he pursues it, no matter what the probable destination of the pupil may be, or at what point his education is to cease." By 1920 almost 2,000,000 students were enrolled—32% of youths aged 14-17. School sports were added and gymnasiums were built that attracted big crowds to watch the games and events. 1920 In 1965, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act passed as a part of President Lyndon B.

This also ensures that all students graduating have achieved the standards set by the state. 2001 Secondary Education in the United States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_education_in _the_United_Stateshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_educatio n_in_the_United_States#HistoryNational Education Association of the United States.
