One probably should check to see if sampling is legal under the legislation, both state and No Child Left Behind. It may well be that an actual census is required. Under NCLB, I believe, at least 95% of the students must be tested. Whether all those tests must be scored under the legislation is a different question, but not an insignificant one!
1. what information do we need to be accountable at the individual STUDENT level?
2. what information do we need to be accountable at the school or district level?
to do #1 ... you have to test all kids
to do #2 ... you do NOT have to test all kids
